(1987)
Snap! is Michael Daugherty's jazzy tribute to the golden age of Hollywood and the panache of tap-dancer James Cagney's memorable performances. Framed by two dueling crash cymbal soloists, a syncopated opening motive goes through various rhythmic permutations and melodic elaborations in this highly original and entertaining composition. Snap! was awarded a Kennedy Center Friedheim Award in 1989. Duration - ca. 7:00.
