“I state it thus:
There is no truer truth attainable
By man than comes of music.”
- Robert Browning,
from Parleyings with Certain People of Importance
in Their Day: With Charles Avison, 1887
Wingate: Rhapsodie gothique (1987)

American composer Jason Wright Wingate brings a unique and peculiar voice to contemporary classical music. Perhaps best described as a pitch serialist with a penchant for accidental tonalisms, Wingate’s deep erudition in the arts and humanities imparts to his music a meditative seriousness of purpose, while his four decades as a cellist bestow a rich and exuberant thickness to his signature sound. New works continue to grow in his ever-germinating garden of composition projects, from symphonies and string quartets to opera, oratorio, and song . . .

Let there be no noise made, my gentle friends;
Unless some dull and favourable hand
Will whisper music to my weary spirit.
- Shakespeare,
2 Henry IV, 4.5.1-3
