His most recent music is somewhat characterised by simplicity in formal design and by warmly melodic lines. He founded the New Consonance Ensemble which says much for his present stylistic orientation. The Sextuor for piano and wind quintet, of which this is the second recording, is no exception. Although the composer admits that American Minimalism was an influence, the music of the Sextet does not really fit that mould. Lysight’s repetitions, when they occur, display a greater variety. This is a tuneful, lyrical work of great melodic charm.
