Gordon: Rewriting Beethoven's Seventh

Whilst googling around John Adams I came across this: Michael Gordon's orchestral piece Rewriting Beethoven's Seventh (Adams, as conductor, took Gordon's Sunshine of Your Love on tour in 1999 together with his own then newly written Naive and Sentimental Music). Gordon's work is a pastiche in the same vein as Berio's Sinfonia, composed by stripping, hacking and mashing a canonic masterpiece. But whilst Berio sublimates one engaging musical process into another one, here we merely end up with a feeling of ears and mouth full of sawdust. The moniker 'minimalist drivel' is totally appropriate for this kind of adolescent nonsense. I might be able to come up myself with a piece like this give or take 2 weeks toying with GarageBand. Won't be spending more time on this.
