Bang on a Can Cantaloupe Music

David Lang follows his highly-acclaimed Cantaloupe debut The Passing Measures with this major new work for seven musicians. Child is a powerful meditation on childhood and memory. Sweet and simple on the surface, gentle musical fragments float by, leaving faint traces of darkness in their wake. Written in five separate parts for some of Europe's finest groups, Child is recorded here by the Italian ensemble Sentierri Selvaggi.

"Boldly realized snakes its intriguing way over varied emotional turf, with melancholic irresolution in the mix. Sheer musical energy and spiritual inquiry hover over the proceedings." -- Josef Woodard, Los Angeles Times
