Composer Vincent Calianno had a dream about Michael Jackson that inspired his award-winning composition, which the Tucson Symphony will play this weekend.
Cathalena E. Burch As a kid growing up in Buffalo, New York, composer Vincent Calianno was a fan of Michael Jackson’s landmark album “Thriller.”Until 2012, when Jackson ended up the central character in a dream that inspired Calianno to compose “The Facts and Dreams of the World According to Michael Jackson,” a four-movement work that landed him a prestigious ASCAP Rudolf Nissim Prize in 2016.
“He wanted to put these little engravings and hidden proverbs of the meaning of life so that when he died, his daughter had some memory space to not only remember him but to have direction in her life,” Calianno explained. Calianno, who moved to Tucson from New York City in 2019 and married Tucson dancer Claire Hancock the following year, said the the only reference to Michael Jackson in his piece is in the title.
“That’s kind of the great thing about music is that it’s so abstract; it doesn’t tell a story,” Calianno said. “It’s sounds coming from the stage. And as a composer, I’m not telling you what to think.”
