The San Jose Chamber Orchestra put up a large grand staff on the wall; audience members pasted round stickers on it to compose a new work. The music director, Barbara Day Turner, asked me if I'd write a new piece based on this "Crowd Sourced" music. I'm always ready for fun and a challenge. We decided to perform the new piece on the Bach inspired "Tricks and Treats" Halloween concert.
Most people are familiar with Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (BWV 565). It often appears in horror movies or other scary productions. I decided to use it as a starting point for "Crowd Source". I also decided to write an accompanying tango, because I like them, tangos are usually in minor keys, and Toccata and Tango in D Minor is a cool title.
Complete program notes are in the score.
