1. Dead Elvis is a work for clarinet, bassoon, trumpet, trombone, violin, double bass and percussion, composed in 1993 by Michael Daugherty, associate professor of music at the University of Michigan. It uses a medieval Latin chant for the Day of Judgment as the principal musical theme and pits two different Elvis Presley images: "the hip, beautiful, genius, thin, rock-and-roll Elvis vs. the vulgar, cheesy, fat, stoned, Las Vegas Elvis." The work was commissioned by Boston Musica Viva and Chuck Ullery, principal bassoonist with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra.
