		Rands conjures up a troubled world in which many voices strive to be heard without necessarily being always successful in doing so.
		Rands’ music here runs the whole gamut of modern vocal techniques as encountered in many works by Berio and his contemporaries, but always aiming at direct communication which it achieves in an almost visceral way.
		This wonderful release undoubtedly provides for a thought-provoking survey of Bernard Rands’ musical journey and also a good introduction to his often beautiful sound world and his honest and serious musical thinking; and it is thus warmly recommended.

		Though it's been awarded since 1959, you may not have heard of a composer honor that's been given annually by a small orchestra in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
		The winners' list includes a number of major artists—and the 2004 award sees Bernard Rands' name added to the list.
		Though at a pace of one a year, the LSO's audience could not possibly keep abreast of all that is happening in the music field, learning about the work of one new composer every year is likely more than most of the nation's symphony subscribers.

	Happy Birthday, Bernard! Auros Group for New Music
		The Auros ensemble's first concert of the season, celebrating Bernard Rands's 70th birthday, focused on this tonemeister's less frequently encountered shorter works.
		It showed that Rands, besides being a first-rate handler of more expansive formats, is a gifted miniaturist.
		But even here, Rands thinks musically, not didactically: there's a well-developed sense of linear unfolding in the work's manner of speech that makes it anything but a drab artifact.

		Rands made a wonderful and dedicated contribution to the music of our time while he was Composer-in-Residence with the Philadelphia Orchestra for seven years, from 1989 to 1996.
		Rands has written: "It was never my aim to compose a song cycle for voice and instrumental accompaniments in which each song has its own musical and formal integrity.
		Rands exploits both meanings of the Latin root luna (lunar and lunatic) to their fullest, creating a vocal drama that swings wildly in mood - variously poetic and mysterious, hilarious, bawdy, desolate, agitated, playful, menacing, peaceful, hysterical,, utterly insane.

	Eclipse: The Music of Bernard Rands
		It’s a most wonderful tribute, too, a well scribed selection that liberally quotes material from other of Rands’ pieces and is built from juxtapositions of small sections alternatively turbulent and calm in mood.
		Wisely, the composer does not allow this pattern to result in a simple back-and-forth roller coaster ride; here, Rands tones down the agitated material in the central part of the work to produce a large scale ternary feel, letting the outer sections exhibit much wider emotional swings.
		It’s also a relatively tonal piece in relation to the rest of this composer’s oeuvre—many of the lovely calm sections are frankly triadic in sound.

		Rands, Harbison, Kraft, Husa Wind Music TROY340 [HC]: Classical Reviews- April2002 MusicWeb(UK)
		Bernard Rands composed three orchestral pieces sharing the same title Ceremonial (in 1985, 1986 and 1990/1 respectively and Ceremonial III is available on NEW WORLD 80392-2), but Ceremonial for symphonic wind band, composed in 1992, is a quite different piece.
		I really enjoyed this release, and the works recorded here are all worthwhile additions to a repertoire that once was confined to sometimes dubious transcriptions of famous, though not always great, showpieces and that has now been considerably enlarged and enriched by imaginative and sympathetic composers as the ones represented here.

		The title may be cute, but the piece consists of 25 minutes of anonymous squeak-bloop devoid of character, originality, or a sustained musical thought of more than a few seconds' duration.
		Bernard Rands'...where the murmurs die..., aside from the pretentious title that has nothing discernible to do with the music (and the use of ellipsis, which ought to be a capital crime), is a darkly atmospheric study on a tune that sounds a lot like the opening of Shostakovich's Eighth Symphony.
		With the Copland and Sessions pieces we come to two of music's heavy hitters.
