Metropolis Symphony - IV Oh, Lois!

Michael Daugherty Metropolis Symphony for Orchestra (1989) IV. Oh, Lois! Performed by the University of Michigan Symphony Orchestra Kenneth Kiesler: Conductor October 11, 2012 Hill Auditorium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Since its premiere by the Baltimore Symphony in 1994 at Carnegie Hall, the GRAMMY®-winning Metropolis Symphony has entered the orchestral repertoire and been performed by orchestras all over the world. Metropolis Symphony is a five-movement musical response to the world of Superman. IV. 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 five-minute concerto for the orchestra uses flexatone and whip to provide a lively polyrhythmic counterpoint that suggests a cartoon history of mishaps, screams, dialogue, crashes, and disasters, all in rapid motion.
