1. '''''Dead Elvis''''' is a work for [[clarinet]], [[bassoon]], [[trumpet]], [[trombone]], [[violin]], [[double bass]] and [[percussion]], composed in 1993 by [[Michael Daugherty]], associate professor of music at the [[University of Michigan]]. It uses a medieval Latin chant for the [[Day of Judgment]] as the principal musical theme and pits two different [[Elvis Presley]] images: "the hip, beautiful, genius, thin, rock-and-roll Elvis vs. the vulgar, cheesy, fat, stoned, [[Las Vegas]] Elvis." The work was commissioned by [[Boston Musica Viva]] and [[Chuck Ullery]], principal bassoonist with the [[St. Paul Chamber Orchestra]]. |
