Rat RaceTwo concerts in San Francisco in April 2012 (three more concerts will follow in New York in the fall of 2012):
Now playing is a Midi impression of the composition: Rat Race was written for the American Redshift Ensemble in 2012. The composition for clarinet, violin, cello and piano starts very rhythmically and pictures, as the title suggests the ongoing stress that can be felt in modern society. In the music you can hear the stress building up until suddenly it is too much and everything is dropped, resulting in a period of complete harmonious rest and happiness. Gradually the lost energy is recovered and the last part of the piece explodes in a wild pop-rhythm again. |
