Must the Devil Have All the Good Tunes?

Album by John Adams & Gustavo Dudamel & Yuja Wang & Los Angeles Philharmonic

Must the Devil Have All the Good Tunes? is an orchestral composition by American composer John Adams, written in 2018. It blends Adams's post-minimalist idiom with elements drawn from jazz, gospel and blues, employing driving rhythms, layered orchestral textures and bright brass and woodwind writing, and represents a late‑2010s continuation of his large‑scale orchestral explorations in his catalogue.
