Ingram Marshall: September Canons

"In an interview, New Yorker critic Alex Ross, author of a history of 20th-century music, The Rest Is Noise, was quick to put Marshall on a short list of the most neglected living composers. ... For the first-time listener seeking an introduction to Marshall's musical output, probably the best survey on disc of Marshall's music would be September Canons (New World Records, 2009), which traces his music from ... 1976 experiments on Indonesian Flute (Gambuh, written for the composer to play with live electronics) all the way up to 2002. The excellent liner notes — by local scholar, oboist and frequent Marshall collaborator Libby Van Cleve — describe it as an 'archaeological dig, flowing in reverse chronological order,' and like a dig or a core sample, it gives a cross-section of his evolving techniques" (Daniel Stephen Johnson, "Musical Mycophile: The Unsung Genius of Ingram Marshall," New Haven Advocate, 3/24/11).
