Edgard Varèse, Amériques

One of my favorite modernist pieces. I like to think of it as Stravinsky’s “Rite of Spring” on crack (see if you can find all the references!) There are also references to other early century music such as Schoenberg and (I think) Mahler. The last 5 minutes or so is one of the most intense endings I know of.
