Kung Pao is an exploration of several different grooves – some spacey, some robotic, and some downright funky. The feel of the music changes dramatically with each section, somewhat like in a baroque organ toccata. The sections are related mainly by their harmonic material. Towards the end of the piece, the performers clap and shout to crank up the intensity.
Premiere: 10/4/03 — Rochester, New York Cody Coyne, euphonium • Chappell Kingsland, organ
