In
1987 Orlando
Otey performs at the University of Delaware with one of his students,
Fred Stilmar.
Fred
Stilmar applied the Otey Music Theory to produce arrangements he
called "Rapid Linear Chromatic Variations" of
traditional works by Bach, Scarlatti, Chopin and Liszt.
The results of this approach
are quite stunning and add another dimension to these already
masterful works.
As
the Otey Music Theory
method matures further in its presentation, other students of Orlando
Otey benefit from its comprehensive, even universal, approach.
Wilson Somers receives acclaim
for his composition, "Mass For The Homeless", during
1990, on which he used the techniques of the
Otey Music Theory.
In
1995 Dr. Orlando Otey performs in
New York City at Merkin Hall with Fred Stilmar again.
Mr. Stilmar applied yet
another approach derived from the Otey Music Theory he termed
"Consecutive Chromatic Modifications" to additional
works by Bach and Liszt.
They both performed
wonderfully, and pleased an audience that traveled from
several different states to attend.
