American Icon
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
Combining 17th-century musical convention with the best of modern kitsch, composer Michael Daugherty pays clever tribute to an American icon in his "Le Tombeau de Liberace" (The Tomb of Liberace). Also, cowboy-themed music from pianist/composer Edward Joseph Collins — who, incidentally, was the son-in-law of another American icon, Oscar Meyer.
