DESCRIPTION:
Triple Play (For Ondes Martenot and Two Pianos)
by Calvin Hampton
Helen McGill, Ondes Martenot
George C Pappastavrou and Stuart Warren Lanning, Pianos

Hampton's program notes from the 1967 recording New Music In Quarter-Tones (Odyssey 32-16-0162):

"The initial procedures in Triple Play are academic: a short melodic motif and its intervallic inversion, variously juxtaposed with a short rhythm pattern and its durational opposite. The controlled durations graduate to a rhythmic quotation from a novelty song entitled 'I'm in Love With Tootsie Oodles.' Simultaneously, the melodic motif, having undergone intervallic expansion, acquires frivolous adornments during the course of two 'variations.' All elements are homogenized at the conclusion.
"In an effort to draw a blush from composer Lee Erwin, who wrote 'Tootsie Oodles' for the Arthur Godfrey show, I performed his song at a party--in strict canon. Lee matched my stunt by playing the canon back to me at a New York film festival, during his accompaniment of a Gloria Swanson silent epic. Rendering it once more in this piece makes a triple play."

I don't own this piece, but this recording (the only one) is, as far as I know, out of print. However, as usual, if you own it and want this video to go away, just ask.
