Nandor Nevai's latest full length is arcane and yet indulgent.
Popular Brass & Military songcraft intended to embolden and nourish. 10 tracks, meaning 9 songs and a (previously unrecorded) Penderecki instrumental enjoying its world premiere, the album is entirely through-composed, from the heroic vocals to the duo of bass trombones and the (tonal) battery configuration. Psychoactive Paeans and Laments that invigorate. The Greek poet Aeschylus who took part in the Battle of Salamis, commented on the power of the paean over enemies:
All the barbarians felt fear because they had been deprived of what they expected. The Greeks were singing the stately paean at that time not for flight, but because they were hastening into battle and were stout of heart.
