Tight Squeeze (for Concert Wind Band and Prerecorded Track)

From the acclaimed composer of Paper Cut, Alex?Shapiro, this unique, high-energy work could be?described by the following: imagine Arnold Schoenberg,?Henry Mancini, and Charlie Parker walking into a?dance club in Havana, and staying for three minutes. Tight Squeeze ventures into new territory as it explores?chromaticism and syncopation against a prerecorded?percussion groove. The result is the repertoire's first electroacoustic?twelve-tone techno Latin bebop band piece! Okay, maybe Schoenberg?did all that first, but it never sounded quite like this!

To perform the piece, you'll need an audio system capable of playing the prerecorded audio tracks from a laptop computer via a small digital audio interface connected to an audio mixer. Download information is provided in the printed piece.
