Description

Excerpts from the 1984 performance of "The Tennis Dances". The work provides an overview of modern society using tennis as a metaphor. The moods range from a lighthearted bluegrass section to a tennis match ritualized and fought to the death. The complete work is in eleven sections and uses music by Fanshawe, Ives, Stravinsky, Mihaud, Sarkisian and Orff, as well as medieval and electronic scores. The complete version from 2015 can be seen at https://youtu.be/T9h3yXOWbs8.
