Liberace
American composer Michael Daugherty's 1996 work "Le Tombeau de Liberace" (Liberace's Tomb) is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to Maurice Ravel, who created his own tribute to Baroque music in "Le Tombeau de Couperin." Daugherty translates the spirit of Ravel into an American idiom, as an homage to an artist of the past—and a cheeky reimagining of the future.
