Bass Concerto (Nightlife)

From the composer: The piece combines multiple styles and genres; a language I call counter-classicism. Mirroring the way people listen to music today, I seamlessly move between genres and rhythms, a quality that likens this piece to a playlist. I compose on the train often where I listen to music from Korngold, Mahler, and Bach. Bass Concerto, subtitled Nightlife, is an exploration of a core tenet of music: dance. Throughout history, music has been used for dance, with classical music no expectation. I take forms like the French Baroque Overture and infuse them with modern genres like house music, jazz, and especially gospel.
