Hoodoos is a quartet for oboe, violin, cello, and piano, about 5.5 minutes long. This atmospheric piece is in two parts. The opening Part 1 is mysterious, a whispered invitation, with a haunting melody and gently clanging piano chords. Part two is a stomping, syncopated dance.<\/p>\n<p>The two short parts are played as one movement:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">I. Andante, hesitating<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">II. Allegro vigoroso<\/p>\n<p>Composer&#8217;s note:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I wrote Dance of the Hoodoos as my contribution to the Rapido contest\u2019s 2-week composing challenge in June 2012. The theme was dance. The exotic beginning and the heavy-footed music of part 2 brought to mind the eerie hoodoos near the north entrance of Yellowstone National Park, which I had seen a couple of years before. When we first saw them at twilight, they looked like looming ghosts.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Audio<\/h2>\n<p class=\"clearit\"><strong>First performance<\/strong> Mystery Park Arts Band at the Subtropics Experimental Music and Sound Arts Festival, SoBe Institute of the Arts, Miami Beach, Florida, USA, March 15, 2013<\/p>\n<p class=\"clearit\"><strong>Recording <\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/lexingtonsymphony.org\/\">Lexington Symphony Chamber Players<\/a> recorded Dance of the Hoodoos for the album <a href=\"http:\/\/www.spindrift.com\/store\/product\/through-the-mist\/\">Through the Mist<\/a> on Ravello Records<\/p>\n<p class=\"clearit\"><strong>Listen<\/strong> to Dance of the Hoodoos on Spotify: <a href=\"https:\/\/play.spotify.com\/track\/2cZWKc7ASPRMOhWORV0FBC\">Part 1<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.spotify.com\/track\/4rtHP8vSnSVpCzY47dhC3l\">Part 2<\/a>, from the album Through the Mist<\/p>\n<p class=\"clearit\"><strong>Listen<\/strong> to a <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/15vEPZs\">synthesized demo of Dance of the Hoodoos<\/a> on ReverbNation<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Download a Preview PDF of the Score Dance of the Hoodoos &#8211; Preview (436 kB) Printing is disabled for Preview scores.
