LOUNGE LIZARDS

2 Pianos and 2 Percussion

Series: Chamber Music
Publisher: Boosey and Hawkes
Voicing: Score and Parts
Format: Softcover
Composer: Michael Daugherty

Lounge Lizards (1994) was commissioned by the Minnesota Orchestra Association. This tour de force for two pianos and two percussion is a musical recollection of Daugherty's student years when he supported studies in music composition with Gyorgy Ligeti by playing jazz piano in lounges, bars and nightclubs across America and Europe. Pulsating, syncopated piano and xylophone riffs are punctuatedby pulsating triangles, sizzling cymbals and beatnick bongos. As the music accelerates, it becomes increasingly polytonal and polyrhythmic.
