"Discovery of Twelve" (2014)
Written by Shoghi Hayes, as heard on Jazz at Eastman 2014
Discovery of Twelve was written for a jazz theory class. Through experimentation with the possibilities of using a single 12-tone row and its various forms, I composed a complete five voice 12-tone fugue that resembled one of my favorite pieces by Bartok: Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta. Professor Terefenko loved it and encouraged me to use the string piece as an introduction to a jazz peice, using the same tone row.
