When I completed the score in 1993, I dedicated it to the conductor David Zinman, who had encouraged me to compose the work, and to the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. THE METROPOLIS SYMPHONY evokes an American mythology that I discovered as an avid reader of comic books in the fifties and sixties. Each movement of the symphony—which may be performed separately—is a musical response to the myth of Superman. I have used Superman as a compositional metaphor in order to create an independent musical world that appeals to the imagination. The symphony is a rigorously structured, non-programmatic work, expressing the energies, ambiguities, paradoxes, and wit of American popular culture. Like Charles Ives, whose music recalls small-town America early in our century, I draw on my eclectic musical background to reflect on late-twentieth-century urban America. Through complex orchestration, timbral exploration, and rhythmic polyphony, I combine the idioms of jazz, rock, and funk with symphonic and avant-garde composition. I. Lex (00:46) “Lex” derives its title from one of Superman’s most vexing foes, the supervillain and business tycoon Lex Luthor. Marked “Diabolical” in the score, this movement features a virtuoso violin soloist (Lex) who plays a fiendishly difficult fast triplet motive in perpetual motion, pursued by the orchestration and a percussion section that includes four referee whistles placed quadraphonically on stage. II. Krypton (11:20) “Krypton” refers to the exploding planet from which the infant Superman escaped. III. MXYZPTLK (18:06) “Mxyzptlk” is named after a mischievous imp from the fifth dimension who regularly wreaks havoc on Metropolis. It features two dueling flute soloists who are positioned stereophonically on either side of the conductor. IV. Oh, Lois! (25:19) “Oh, Lois!” invokes Lois Lane, news reporter at the Daily Planet alongside Clark Kent (alias Superman). Marked with the tempo “faster than a speeding bullet,” this is a five-minute concerto for orchestra. V. Red Cape Tango (30:45) “Red Cape Tango” was composed after Superman’s fight to the death with Doomsday, and is my final musical work based on the Superman mythology. The principal melody, first heard in the bassoon, is derived from the medieval Latin death chant “Dies Irae.” –Michael Daugherty
Orchestra Iowa Paramount Theatre Mahler 1907 2008 2012 2014
March 1, 2014 concert recording marking the Resurrection of the Mighty Wurlitzer. Orchestra Iowa, Timothy Hankewich, Neal Marple, Chorale Midwest, Des Moines Vocal Arts. Nearly destroyed in the epic flood of 2008, the Paramount Theatre was saved and restored, reopening in November of 2012. Missing from this grand reopening, the theatre's "Mighty Wurlitzer" theatre organ, Opus 1907 from the Rudolph Wurlitzer company, needed another year before restoration was complete. On March 1, 2014, the organ was officially unveiled to the public in a concert with Orchestra Iowa. During this "Resurrection" concert the organ, orchestra, choir, and soloists performed Walton's Coronation Te Deum and Mahler's Symphony No. 2. Recorded from public broadcast on Iowa Public Radio.
