This piece begins very quietly – cranking up the volume a little for the beginning might be a good idea!

2009
Roomful of Teeth performs Judd Greenstein’s AEIOU at Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. Greenstein wrote the work for the ensemble during this year’s residency; this is the premiere performance.
Ensemble member Caroline Shaw wrote Passacaglia for the group. Caroline has this to say:
Originally begun as a study of the yodel break and khoomei techniques we had been working on, the Passacaglia evolved into a kind of audible reconstruction of some of Sol LeWitt’s work in the galleries down the hall, with text taken from Wall Drawing 305. I had originally been looking for a text without any content (randomly generated numbers, etc), and the LeWitt instructions initially seemed to fit that criteria well. But, as it happened, the piece took on a new personality and featured a neon orange D-major climax, performed by the Teeth with the force of this painting.An excerpt from Judd Greentein’s Montmartre:
