Hommage à Ravel
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Written in 1996 and included on Daugherty's album American Icons, "Le Tombeau de Liberace" is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Maurice Ravel, who created his own tribute to Baroque music in "Le Tombeau de Couperin." Daugherty translates the spirit of Ravel into an American idiom, as an homage to an artist of the past — and a cheeky re-imagining of the future.
