		Thomas' Dickinson settings evoke the images of light and energy contained in the poet's mystical verse, the music is vividly and energetically constructed and orchestrated, emphasizing the bright and ecstatic, in a basically tonal idiom.
		Musically it is precise and pungent, most imaginatively scored for small ensemble, while the three soloists are treated to much grateful and idiomatic, melodic, material.
		Instrumentally the music has something of neoclassical clarity to it, - and there are certainly echoes of Stravinsky - though overall the language tends further toward atonality than this description might suggest, though with the heightened emotional effect of unexpected passages of sustained lyricism.

		There were two numbers from the 1999 The Marciac Suite (Columbia): "Jean-Louis Is Everywhere," with its bluesy multi-section theme full of tricky stop-times and breaks, and the ballad "Mademoiselle D’Gascony."

		Here he was as good as his word, playing a lot of "hard" fast chord changes, curling his breathless extended lines around the end of every chorus, plugging in a mute for the patter-aria finale.

	The Marciac Suite - Wynton Marsalis - Song Listings
		For personnel, Marsalis draws from his usual stable -- Wycliffe Gordon (trombone), Wessell Anderson (alto sax), Victor Goines (tenor and soprano saxes, bass clarinet), Rodney Whitaker (bass), Herlin Riley (drums), Roland Guerrero (percussion), and a tag team of pianists -- with his own effortlessly fluent trumpet reverting to the neo-bop style of his early recordings.
		There are no programmatic pretensions ("Big Train"), no PC pronouncements about slavery ("Blood on the Fields"), no overt homages to Ellington, Monk, or Morton -- just Marsalis sounding mostly happy, buoyant, and, in the musical portraits of his friends, even warm-hearted, hugely enjoying himself as a composer.
		The sunny atmosphere is quickly established in the first loosely swinging number, "Loose Duck," and though the music is often difficult, encompassing all 12 keys, the musicians seem to scale the hurdles without an audible care.
