Kortekangas har komponerat bland annat orkester- och körmusik samt solosånger med en klar faktur fjärran från den postserialism som kännetecknar de flesta tonsättare av hans generation. Hans ironiska kammaropera Short Story (1980) kontrasterar starkt mot de samtida monumentala inhemska operorna. För operan Grand Hotel (1985) har han tilldelats Salzburgs stads operapris, och för Memoria (1989) ett första pris i den radiofona klassen i tävlingen Prix Italia. (sv)
