Der vom Magazin „Musical America“ zum Komponisten des Jahres 2007 gekürte William Bolcom ist in zahlreichen Genres tätig. Die auf Kirchenliedern basierenden "Gospel Preludes" gehören zu seinen faszinierendsten Werken. Kühn, brillant und manchmal auch exzentrisch, sind sie in ihrer teilweise vom Jazz und Swing inspirierten Art, stets sehr unterhaltsam, in den ruhigeren Passagen besitzen sie eine hypnotisch beruhigende Note.
William Bolcom, named ‘2007 Composer of the Year’ by Musical America, has written in many genres. His Gospel Preludes, based on hymns, are amongst his most fascinating and compulsive works. Bold, brilliant, sometimes bizarre, but always hugely enjoyable, the Preludes vary widely, sometimes adorned by jazzy chords and rich swing, sometimes exuding tour-de-force brilliance or—when the music is quiet and reflective—possessed of a mesmeric reassurance.
