Sing Sing: J. Edgar Hoover. (String Quartet and Pre-recorded Sound Score and Parts with CD). By Michael Daugherty (1954-). For String Quartet (Score & Parts). Boosey & Hawkes Chamber Music. Softcover with CD. Boosey & Hawkes #M051105991. Published by Boosey & Hawkes.
Inspired by J. Edgar Hoover, who directed the F.B.I. from 1924 until his death in 1972. Hoover's grim, threatening, yet darkly comic personality is ever-present in this work. Incorporates pre-recorded sound samples of Hoover's voice, an interesting twist on the director's wiretapping.
