Summary
"...Lansing McLoskey, whose background is in punk rock but whose compositional style shows little effect of that. Instead, he crafts a neotonal idiom that gradually intensifies and becomes edgier as the work proceeds and the idea expressed in the texts deepen. And what texts they are! The work is based on a set of poems called Twelve Canticles for the Zealot by Nigerian writer Wole Soyinka, lamenting the rise of intolerance and fanaticism in Nigeria and elsewhere around the world."--Excerpt from Tivo.com review
