Tight Squeeze (for Concert Wind Band and Prerecorded Track)

Softcover From the acclaimed composer of Paper Cut, Alex¦Shapiro, this unique, high-energy work could be¦described by the following: imagine Arnold Schoenberg,¦Henry Mancini, and Charlie Parker walking into a¦dance club in Havana, and staying for three minutes. Tight Squeeze ventures into new territory as it explores¦chromaticism and syncopation against a prerecorded¦percussion groove. The result is the repertoire's first electroacoustic¦twelve-tone techno Latin bebop band piece! Okay, maybe Schoenberg¦did all that first, but it never sounded quite like this! To perform the piece, you'll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from a laptop computer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer. Download information is provided in the printed piece.
