What if George Gershwin met Leonard Bernstein?

daviddas.com -- As a lifelong fan of both of these fantastic composers, I was recently inspired to write a new work paying tribute to each of them in a unique, conversational way. Here's the story behind the work and some preview clips from it.
I'd be very interested to talk to orchestras about premiering the work. If you're connected to such an orchestra, please get in touch.

Yes, yes! Definitely interested in a comparison of the melodic craft of your two heroes!

Incredible, brother. I hope we get to hear it performed live one day soon!

[@daviddas]

He said he's gonna!

Brilliant conversation between Lennie and George! Very well done! I could hear the representation of each on the recording, nice to see the score, and maybe a hint of other unmentioned 20th century composer. Was Aaron in the bar?😊 Also, I appreciate the interesting historical comments from others.

"Aaron in the bar" is an exact thought that crossed my mind too. :)

Often “jokingly” thought of Leonard Bernstein as the love child of George Gershwin and Aaron Copland. (Of course Uncle Gustav had a lot of influence on the boy.)

Yes please do the comparison. Didn’t Gershwin and Arlen spent evenings in Harlem listening to the greats like Fats Waller…?

They wouldn't have got on.
