Summary
Martin Bookspan interviews musician, composer, and educator Michael Colagrass. Colagrass speaks about his studies at the University of Illinois; about his musical career in Chicago where his first professional experiences were as a jazz drummer; about his eleven years career as a free-lance percussionist in New York City; and about switching him career of jazz musician to career of classical music composer. He talks about both of his backgrounds, jazz and classical music, that influenced his works. The composer discusses in detail each of the following works, excerpts of which are then played during the interview: Light spirit (for flute, viola, guitar, and percussion, 2 players) (1963), Rhapsodic fantasy (for percussion soloist and orchestra) (1965), The earth's a baked apple (written for a teen-age chorus, words by the composer) (1968), New people (seven songs for mezzo soprano, viola and piano, words by the composer) (1969).
