About this product
The intrepid quartet loadbang exists in the margins between chamber music, new music, and the unnameable music that is the intersection between their unprecedented instrumentation (baritone voice, bass clarinet, trombone, trumpet) and the fantastical concoctions that it inspires in composers. If this , loadbang's third (and second on New Focus) can be summed up in no other way, it is certainly at least a testament to the fact that composers approach this ensemble with a sense of freedom and otherworldly creativity they might not find in themselves with more conventional instrumentations. The deftness with which the ensemble fields these diverse scores and renders them expressive and moving is further testament to their musicianship and commitment. New York City-based new music chamber group loadbang was founded in 2008. They have been praised as 'cultivated' by The New Yorker, 'an extra-cool new music group' and 'exhilarating' by the Baltimore Sun, 'inventive' by the New York Times and called a 'formidable new-music force' by TimeOutNY. They have premiered more than 250 works, written by members of the ensemble, emerging artists, and today's leading composers.

![Brooks / Bang On A Can All-Stars - Passion - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/94c51798-48c1-40d6-b916-904d040e98f0.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Big expressive gestures, heavy basslines, pop and rock influences, jagged dissonance and New York-style InchdowntownInch noise are all signatures of composer Jeffrey Brooks' vibrant and electric music. As a longtime friend and associate of Bang on a Can's founding composers (Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe), whom he first met while a student at Yale in the mid-1980s, Jeffrey Brooks might be best known for his wind ensemble work Dreadnought (1996), but more significantly, he is one of the few modern classical composers with a penchant for chasing rhythm in a way that even urban dancefloor DJs can understand. The Passion collects three of his most compelling works After the Treewatcher (2012), Capriccio on the Departure of a Beloved Brother (2015) and the epic title piece (2017). Featuring edgy, raucous performances by the Bang on a Can All-Stars and the New York-based large ensemble Contemporaneous (conducted by David Bloom), the recording is, in essence, a tribute to the lasting power of friendship, and a triumph of the human spirit.
