In his
prefatory remarks at its
premiere at the Bang on a
Can All-Stars' 2018
People's Commissioning
Fund concert, George
Lewis described his
sextet float,
sting as nine
minutes of noisy stuff.
The title invokes
Muhammad Ali's celebrated
epigram, Float like a
butterfly, sting like a
bee / His hands can't hit
what his eyes can't see,
and the playful violence
of the exotic sonorities
called for in the score
allows the heterogeneous
lineup of instruments
(clarinet, electric
guitar, piano, cello,
contrabass, drum set) to
spar on equal
terms.
float,
sting is part of the
Peters Contemporary
Chamber
Series.
