Description:
What do Miniskirts, Rock 'n' Roll and Roller skates have in common?
Quite simply: They all turn our heads upside down!
As a tribute to legendary rock 'n' roll, we are going on a journey back in time to the 1950s and 60s with a little 'retro rock'. The 'Mini-Rock 'n' Roller-Skates' was created - in addition to the composition 'Straight Fit' - as one of two commissioned works for the Städtische Jugendkapelle in Friedberg, Bavaria. It was important that both pieces, for the two different bands of the Stadtjugendkapelle, have a rocking character and also thematically refer to each other. As with 'Straight Fit' I have also used the 'Miniskirt' as a term from the fashion world.
I quickly discovered the possibility to play with the words so the title and music did not wait long ...
I hope with 'Mini-Rock 'n' Roller-Skates' to convey a sense of joy and the courage for a little bit of craziness!
