"Composer Gary Noland
is possessed of a rich musical imagination, whose technique distills the achievements of Reger, Strauss and Schoenberg but also refracts their post-romantic/expressionist tendencies through the lens of twenty-first century, post-modern, American style. Moreover, he fits Stravinsky's definition of a great composer: one who doesn't merely steal, but knows what to steal. This Noland does with a wit an aplomb unique to the music of our time."

-Ira Braus, The Hartt School

"Mr. Noland writes as a 'time traveler' in styles long abandoned by most composers as well as styles so new as to not have been imagined but by him. This he accomplishes naturally, convincingly, with originality and true passion. His command of all musical languages and his ability to traverse musical time is nothing less than remarkable. Listen!"

-Donald Martino, Professor Emeritus, Harvard University

"Very impressive piece of work; original and awesome sound."

-Jake Aller, US State Department

"...an enormously talented composer...Gary Noland is a musician with impeccable taste and a penetrating understanding of modern aesthetics."
