===Outside classical music=== Fugues (or fughettas/fugatos) have been incorporated into genres outside Western classical music. Several examples exist within [[jazz]], such as ''Bach goes to Town'', composed by the Welsh composer [[Alec Templeton]] and recorded by [[Benny Goodman]] in 1938, and ''[[Concorde (album)|Concorde]]'' composed by [[John Lewis (pianist)|John Lewis]] and recorded by the [[Modern Jazz Quartet]] in 1955. In "[[Fugue for Tinhorns]]" from the Broadway musical [[Guys and Dolls]], written by [[Frank Loesser]], the characters Nicely-Nicely, Benny, and Rusty sing simultaneously about hot tips they each have in an upcoming [[Horse racing|horse race]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAIlVCStp3c | title=Fugue for Tinhorns - Guys and Dolls (1955) - YouTube |website=[[YouTube]] | date=2 December 2016 }}</ref> In "[[West Side Story]]", the dance sequence following the song "Cool" is structured as a fugue. Interestingly, [[Leonard Bernstein]] quotes Beethoven's monumental "Große Fuge" for string quartet and employs Arnold Schoenberg's twelve tone technique, all in the context of a jazz infused Broadway show stopper. A few examples also exist within [[progressive rock]], such as the central movement of "[[Trilogy (Emerson, Lake & Palmer album)#Track listing|The Endless Enigma]]" by [[Emerson, Lake & Palmer]] and "[[Free Hand#Track listing|On Reflection]]" by [[Gentle Giant]]. On their EP of the same name, [[Vulfpeck]] has a composition called "Fugue State", which incorporates a fugue-like section between Theo Katzman (guitar), Joe Dart (bass), and Woody Goss (Wurlitzer keyboard). The composer [[Matyas Seiber]] included an atonal or twelve-tone fugue, for flute trumpet and string quartet, in his score for the 1953 film ''Graham Sutherland''<ref>{{cite book | first = Hans | last = Keller | title = Film Music and Beyond | location = London | publisher = Plumbago Books | year = 2006 | page = 167}}</ref> The film composer [[John Williams]] includes a fugue in his score for the 1990 film, ''[[Home Alone]]'', at the point where Kevin, accidentally left at home by his family, and realizing he is about to be attacked by a pair of bumbling burglars, begins to plan his elaborate defenses. Another fugue occurs at a similar point in the 1992 sequel film, ''[[Home Alone 2: Lost in New York]]''. The jazz composer and film composer, [[Michel Legrand]], includes a fugue as the climax of his score (a classical theme with variations, and fugue) for [[Joseph Losey]]'s 1972 film ''[[The Go-Between (1971 film)|The Go-Between]]'', based on the 1953 novel by British novelist, [[L. P. Hartley|L.P. Hartley]], as well as several times in his score for [[Jacques Demy]]'s 1970 film ''[[Donkey Skin (film)|Peau d'âne]]''.
