Four Factories

Description

Carter Pann wrote this work for University of North Carolina at Greensboro Wind Symphony, under the direction of conductors John R. Locke and Kevin M. Geraldi. Meant to evoke the sounds of machinery in large factories, and partially inspired by Ayn Rand's book The Fountainhead, Pann refers to this piece as "explorations in motorized color-palettes," with each of its four movements serving as individual "color-concepts." It was premiered on February 16, 2007 in Strathmore Hall, Washington D.C. under the direction of Kevin M. Geraldi. For advanced or university ensembles. Performance materials available on rental.
