Carter Pann's Four Factories for Wind Symphony: An Analysis and Discussion

Carter Pann is an award-winning composer of music for a variety of mediums and currently serves as Assistant Professor of Composition and Theory at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Pann's Four Factories, commissioned by the University of North Carolina at Greensboro Wind Symphony and completed in 2006, is a fifteen-minute composition written in four movements for large wind symphony that has been performed widely by leading college and university bands. Inspired by a reading of Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead and the music of George Antheil, the movements of Four Factories evoke images of industrial machinery through programmatic effects, use of dense orchestration, driving rhythms, glissandi, and percussion instruments such as siren, wood blocks, and brake drum or anvil.
