Special to the Jewish News

ulitzer Prize-winning corn-
poser Aaron Jay Kernis
often thinks of himself as a
concertgoer when he writes.
A listener who detests being bored, he
infused much energy into New Era
Dance, the piece being performed this
weekend by the Detroit Symphony
Orchestra.
The work — an eight-minute sym-
phonic romp through salsa, rap and
other sounds that welled up from his
New York neighborhood — is scored
for a wide range of instruments and
even includes the brief use of electron-
ically simulated police whistles.
Commissioned jointly by the
Baltimore Symphony and the New

York Philharmonic in 1992, New Era
Dance was written after the appoint-
ment of Kurt Masur as music director
of the New York orchestra. Kernis
chose to push the Philharmonic into
what he considered to be a new era in
its 150-year history.
"The piece is a combination of a
vibrant, urban energy and a more
menacing kind that I felt at various
times over my years living in the city,"
says Kernis, who turned 40 on
Saturday. "It has a combination of
high spirits and foreboding.
"At the time it was commissioned, I
was concerned with what was going
on in the country. Clinton's first run
for president was occurring, and the
Los Angeles riots had just occurred.
There were possibilities that we might
have riots in New York as well.
