Concert 2 - The Cage Variations

The Cage Variations is a newly commissioned work from Ted Hearne constructed entirely from shards of music from contemporary American composers. Hearne melds, morphs and steals music from pre-existing works to create twelve variations on Charles Ives' philosophical and hypnotic song "The Cage." This colorful and prismatic program also includes each of the sampled works, in whole or in part, in its original form.
