Most recently released is Opus Six, For Winds and
Brass. This work is easily performable
and written, “Bilingually, in the language of chromaticism and tones”. The brass and winds section are constantly
speaking to each other throughout the work in perfect intervals and chromatic
rows developed minimally, similar in style to Ada Gentile with passages
reminiscent of Anton Dvorak.
Currently,
he is finishing Ragnarok, a grand
opera based on the old Germanic and Norse myths about the end of the
world. The opera portrays a clash of
cultures between Southern and Northern Europe and has both an
anti-imperialistic storyline as well as serving as a counter to the politics of
Wagner.
He has
just released Chad Michelstetter: The
Early Works, available on Twin Ravens Records through Amazon.com, ITunes
and other fine music etailers and retailers.
A second album is in the works for development beginning this summer!
