A counterpoint of characters

Více o knize

"Colgrass' uncanny ability to write accessible music that simultaneously challenges the intellect and stirs the emotions is the subject of this book. Colgrass' artistic development; the evolution of his work towards 'a polyphony of musics,' and his background in acting and theater training are examined at length. Two particular works, Deja vu and Winds of Nagual, are considered in some detail. Colgrass' recent works have involved fusing the many layers of cultural styles, moving towards a grand synthesis of his 'counterpoint of characters'" -- Cover, p. 4.
