The music of Pulitzer Prize winning composer Michael Colgrass is
the music of our time. His works have been commissioned, performed
and recorded by major symphony orchestras and noted soloists around
the world, and his distinctive voice - steeped in a number of
musical histories and styles - has been praised and lauded by
critics and audiences alike. 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." Musicians,
performers, conductors, admirers of Colgrass' works, wind band
enthusiasts, and devotees of contemporary music will all find A
Counterpoint of Characters stimulating reading.
