While still a composition student at Yale, Michael Torke practically defined post-minimalism, a music in which eclectic young composers utilize the repetitive structures of a previous generation to incorporate musical techniques from both the classical tradition and the contemporary pop world. This disc contains one of Michael Torke's most popular works, 'Javelin,' commissioned on the occasion of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra's 50th anniversary and performed for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. 'Run' was commissioned by the New York Philharmonic for their 150th season.
