Hallelujah Junction

Hallelujah Junction is a composition for two pianos written in 1996 by the American composer John Adams.

[2] A two-CD retrospective album of works by Adams on the Nonesuch label is also entitled Hallelujah Junction, but does not include the composition.

So now the piece finally exists: the 'junction' being the interlocking style of two-piano writing which features short, highly rhythmicized motives bouncing back and forth between the two pianos in tightly phased sequences".

[4] The work centers around delayed repetition between the two pianos, creating an effect of echoing sonorities.

[5] It was first performed by Grant Gershon and Gloria Cheng at the Getty Center in Brentwood, California, in 1998.
