Description
'The Wild Heart,’ the Nonesuch Records debut from composer Dylan Mattingly, is out now. The album, performed by Contemporaneous with conductor David Bloom and vocal soloist Iarla Ó Lionáird, comprises the five-movement work ‘The Transmutation Notebooks,’ as well as ‘Sunt Lacrimae Rerum (these are the tears of things).’ The vinyl edition features the latter piece and two movements from ‘The Transmutation Notebooks’: “Ulysses Dances” and “Last Dance.”
"When musical material reappears across movements, it is always already in flux—already adapting, changing, evolving," Jake Wilder-Smith writes in his album liner note. "Sometimes, you listen in real time as a rhythmic vamp, harmonic progression, or melodic turn responds to a changing musical environment … Other times we recognize a familiar phrase only when it reappears across movements, its features changed.”
Composer John Adams says: “Dylan Mattingly is a true original whose music fills the listener with a sense of overflowing abundance ... He’s a genuine American Maverick in the true sense of the term.”
