This study is an analysis of one of Daugherty’s compositions, Le Tombeau de Liberace for piano and orchestra, to determine style characteristics of the composer, such as his harmonic language, creation of texture, and usage of popular music idioms. Research and analysis were conducted on the musical elements of melody, harmony, rhythm, orchestration, texture, and technique that comprise Le Tombeau de Liberace. The results conclude that Daugherty’s harmonic language is created, in part, through harmonic layering and the combination of diatonic and chromatic elements, and his polyphonic texture is created, in part, through a stratification of rhythmic layers.
