PRESS
about his orchestral music:
"A
major talent ... and a deep thinker with a great ear. ... His Requiem,
ver.2.001x is distinctive, fascinating, and
compelling."
–American Composers Orchestra press release
"The
other standout on the program, McLoskey's
Requiem...[is]
a beautiful piece, one that conveys both ethereal solemnity
and
wrathful
reckoning."
–Michael Manning, The Boston
Globe
"Moraine...immediately
grabs hold of the listener's
attention with as
commanding a statement by the orchestra as found in any other
work.
With textures that vary from single-voiced solos to a harmony
heavy with polytonality, the composer reveals here the talent that
helped him
win the prize."
–Marcus Kalipolites, The Times Herald Record
"Prex
Penitentialis...[is] an evocative and inspired
work that does a great job of connecting the centuries old
script
with
today's troubled psyche.
...a modern work that resonates with the listener and
doesn't attempt to alienate the audience."
–Jean-Yves Duperron, Classical Music
Sentinel, May,
2011.
"Prex
Penitentialis…an
aura of early,
simple-seeming church music - ethereal, chaste, distanced - darkened by
slow
stages into a musically complex and decidedly modern species of
Angst.
Petrarch supplied the exquisitely tortured texts, Andrea Fullington
(soprano)
the exquisitely poised singing."
–Richard Buell, The Boston Globe
