A short sample from a presentation of crossover music for a contemporary music course at IUSB. Claude Bolling's Suite for Chamber Orchestra and Jazz Piano Trio combines various musical styles, the most notable being jazz and music from the baroque period.In his efforts to make these two genres blend in a cohesive fashion, the orchestration is designed with subtle hints of what is to come. This video takes the beginning of the suite to show how some of this is realized.The unexpected crescendo alludes to the Mannheim School-era orchestral crescendo, in particular to Carl Stamitz. While it doesn't seem to have a distinct function in this selection, it foreshadows a much larger crescendo at the end of the 4th movement.
