Background: This recording celebrates three exciting works commissioned and premiered by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra during Michael Daugherty’s four years as Composer-in Residence. Inspired by Diego Rivera’s monumental fresco and Frida Kahlo’s paintings created in Detroit, Michigan, Fire and Blood 'rivets the ear with a bold palette of colors and the skillful elaboration of vibrant themes' - Detroit News.

MotorCity Triptych, 'striking both in its brilliance and in its technical rigor', is a road trip through the sounds of Detroit: the 1960’s pulse of Motown, the motor rhythms of Michigan Avenue, and the legend of civil rights icon Rosa Parks.

Raise the Roof, composed for the opening of Detroit’s Max M Fisher Music Center, is a grand acoustic construction featuring the timpani in a tour de force of urban polyrhythms.
