ROUGAROU CONCERTO
The Rougarou Concerto features three movements designed to capture the mythos of the Rougarou. The Rougarou is a "half-man, half-dog. It stands upright on two legs, and is covered in hair. The Rougarou roams the bayou in search for misbehaving children to frighten." It was written in part for the composer's dissertation as a study of flex ensemble music. The backing ensemble could be any number of performers as long as each of the seven parts are performed. Dissertation work commissioned by Eduard Teregulov.
