- Summary
- Sinatra Shag (1998) for small chamber ensemble was commissioned and first -- performed by Present Music, conducted by Kevin Shalheim, at the 32nd Contemporary -- Music Festival, Indiana State University, Terre Haute, Indiana on October 7, 1998. -- Duration is approximately 5 minutes. The composer writes: In the spring of 1996, I had the pleasure of working with the Milwaukee- -- based new music ensemble Present Music during a residency at the -- Cornish Institute of the Arts in Seattle, Washington. During a lunch -- break, I came upon an alternative record store with an impressive array of -- unusual postcards. One postcard in particular caught my attention: Nancy -- Sinatra, circa 1966, sporting a pair of knee-high white boots sitting on a -- Harley Davidson motorcycle. I dashed back to the rehearsal filled with -- inspiration, and Sinatra Shag was born. -- In Sinatra Shag the seven members of the combo are divided into various -- rhythmic groups to create layers of pulse and complexity. The performers -- play chromatically ascending passages to the groove of a col legno battuto -- bass line in the cello. Swinging lounge instrumental riffs and swirling -- glisses are looped and layered virtuosically throughout the composition, -- like a multi-colored shag carpet. The composition evokes the Las Vegas -- era when the leading American popular music entertainers of the 1960s, -- such as Frank Sinatra and his daughter Nancy, performed at the Sands -- Hotel, known for its luxurious shag carpeting. -- —Michael Daugherty.
