Truckdance
Truckdance is a piece for band that explores and subverts the traditional notions of symphonic band music. Every time the band threatens to play something traditional, such as a march, the music rebels against its self-imposed conventions by deteriorating into a new, crazed version of itself. The title came from the squeaking sound made by a braking garbage truck on a suburban street in New York. The opening two-note motive is derived from this sound, and provided the building blocks for the entire piece.
