Abstract
Rock and other vernacular styles are part of a broad technical palette used by composers Steven Mackey and Rand Steiger. Originally trained as rock and jazz musicians, they have purposefully maintained their links with popular music, allowing it to influence their work in various ways — rhythmic, harmonic, textural, and structural — without degenerating into cliche. This article examines Mackey's Indigenous Instruments and On All Fours, and Steiger's Trio in Memoriam and Double Concerto, to provide an introduction to their styles and compositional methods.
