• So as texts for his brief choral scherzo Harbison instead chose from the informal literature of
  Koussevitzky-isms, casual phrases attributed to him, often quoted by BSO musicians with the
  original creative syntax passed down through the years. The piece for instance opens with a
  richly contrapuntal setting of Koussevitzky’s famous pronouncement: “The next Beethoven will
  from Colorado come.” Later the chorus sings “I will keep playing this music — until you hear it”;
  “I am an American, but I still love Russia”; and finally, “Let's do it together for our own
  satisfaction.”
