Metropolis Symphony

Album by Michael Daugherty & Baltimore Symphony Orchestra & David Zinman

Metropolis Symphony is a seven-movement orchestral work by American composer Michael Daugherty, completed in 1993. Drawing on American popular culture and comic-book imagery, the work blends cinematic and jazz-inflected orchestration with rhythmic drive and vivid orchestral colour, and it occupies an important place in Daugherty's early catalogue as a work that helped define his approach to merging vernacular elements with contemporary classical techniques.
