A review of "Zealot Canticles" on Amazon: "5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, terrifying and powerful. October 17, 2018 Steve Goodman once told me that Bob Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone" is a perfect blend of words and music. Although Lansing McLoskey's music is a universe away from that edgy pop song, the same principle applies. This oratorio of moral lessons careens from echos of the familiar to avant garde sounds that lift the ear and spirit to uncharted states of mind and heart. And it does so seamlessly. One section evolves into the next with effortless inevitability. This is a fully mature work. McLoskey's experimentation is over. Here is a measured command of the forces at hand. In the first half of the 20th Century, "new music" too often suffered the sting of inadequate musicianship in recordings and live performance. The phenomenon didn't help challenging music gain a receptive audience. Fortunately, "Zealot Canticles" is treated to a realization at the hands and voices of musicians who negotiate the hills and valleys of this beautiful music with the combination of precision and abandon it demands. Flawlessly directed, stunningly recorded, this is a music that fits our time and temperature the way the surrounding ocean fits a submarine." 2 days 2 hours ago.
"Cheekily pitched as “Music to inhale,” Smoke might on formal grounds be contemporary classical, but as performed by New Music Detroit (NMD) it packs the visceral punch of a high-energy rock band. On its first official album, the ten-member ensemble digs into Marc Mellits' material with an intensity that argues strongly on behalf of the Chicago-based composer while perhaps making an even stronger case for the group itself. Even better, his music—at least insofar as it's presented here—is a lot of fun, not the kind of thing one typically hears said about a classical recording. Such irreverence is refreshing on a release whose cover image suggests a stronger connection to The Grateful Dead than Beethoven... Some hint of a minimalism influence arises during the recording (consider the marimba patterns in the title work's seventh part, for instance, and the interlock that occurs between the marimbas throughout Red), but Mellits is no card-carrying member; instead, he goes his own way, beholden to no one but himself and happy to infuse his engaging pieces with vibrant hooks, rhythmic punch, and charm. Fans of Martland's and Michael Nyman's bands should find much to like about Mellits' high-spirited music, especially when it's executed with the conviction and panache the NMD brings to it." http://textura.org/archives/n/newmusicdetroit_smokemellits.htm 2 days 6 hours ago.
"With only five musicians accompanying the choir, the work assumes the intimate feel of a chamber piece for choir and instrumentalists. It's also never less than stimulating and engaging, the composer wise to vary the presentation throughout and keep many movements short and to the point. ...It certainly would be hard to imagine another contemporary choral work offering a greater abundance of vocal material to work with, especially when Zealot Canticles includes full choir and solo passages; in that regard, mention must be made of soprano Rebecca Siler and mezzo-soprano Maren Montalbano, whose performances elevate many a movement, including the seventh (“The writing on the wall”) and ninth (“Seek havens of peace”), respectively, and baritone Elijah Blaisdell, whose haunting “I am right” refrain makes the eleventh so memorable." http://textura.org/archives/c/crossing_zealotcanticles.htm The Crossing Lansing McLoskey 2 days 6 hours ago.
"On her recent release from Innova, Esther Lamneck trades her clarinet for its country cousin (the countries in this case being Hungary and Romania) the tárogató, a spectrally rich single-reed instrument capable of glissandi throughout its registers. Rather than a set of conventional solos, Tárogató Constructions offers the fruits of Lamneck’s sustained collaborations with composers who have invented responsive sonic environments in which she may improvise. Each of these “musical worlds” showcases both Lamneck’s command of the tárogató and its composer’s command of live DSP, and there’s much to envy." https://www.icareifyoulisten.com/2018/10/esther-lamneck-tarogironato-constructions-sonic-environments-improvisation/ 2 days 8 hours ago.
