Early life

McLoskey was born to Robert and JoAnn McLoskey in 1964. His grandfather, Heinrich "Henry" L. Hansen was born in Denmark. Growing up in Cupertino, California, Lansing came from a musical family. His mother minored in piano performance at Cal State Fresno, his father played saxophone, and his grandfather, Illinois congressman Robert T. McLoskey, played violin in a regional orchestra. As a teenager, McLoskey learned to play piano, guitar, and saxophone. He started writing rock songs at 14, after purchasing an electric guitar from a flea market. Following high school, McLoskey studied abroad as a student at Holte Gymnasium outside of Copenhagen, Denmark, where he learned to speak Danish. [11]

Although his tastes were eclectic, he found himself drawn to music outside the mainstream, including Prog Rock, Punk Rock, Industrial, Goth, No-Wave, and Post-Punk. He immersed himself in the hardcore punk scene in the San Francisco Bay Area, and played in several punk, surf, goth-dance, and experimental bands in high school and college, including The Suburban Lemmings, The Minority, The Bruces, Spangled Blew, and a “punk opera” project he co-wrote, called "Stanly in the Sewer.” [4] [7] Around this time, McLoskey had a spiritual awakening and dropped his musical pursuits to serve an LDS mission in Denmark.

Education

McLoskey applied to UC Santa Barbara while on his mission. Initially planning on majoring in piano performance, McLoskey was taken aback when he heard, in the same week, Luciano Berio's Sinfonia, Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, and "Non al suo amante" by the trecento Italian composer Jacopo da Bologna. These experiences inspired him to shift his focus from piano to composition. They also marked the beginning of his love for early music. “Early music performance was one of the most important things in my life from undergraduate through my doctoral studies and beyond, and it started at UC Santa Barbara,” said McLoskey. [11] He joined Capella Cordina, the early music choir at UCSB directed by Alejandro Planchart, changed his major to composition, and completed a BA in Composition in 1989. McLoskey considers his string quartet flux in situ (1989, rev. 1991) as his first representative piece. [11]

During his Masters’ studies at the USC Thornton School of Music, McLoskey continued both his composition work as well as his love for early music. He studied composition with Stephen Hartke and Donald Crockett, and counterpoint with Morten Lauridsen. [12] Along with several master's students in early music performance, McLoskey founded the vocal sextet Clamores Antiqui. He also studied early music voice at The Amherst Early Music Festival and Workshop.

After completing his master's, McLoskey worked for four years at a home automation and systems integration company in Santa Monica called Sound Solutions. His company let him take time off to pursue music. In 1993 he was an American-Scandinvavian Foundation Fellow at Det Kongelige Danske Musikkonservatorium (the Royal Danish Academy of Music), where he studied composition with Ib Nørholm, and contemporary & Renaissance choral techniques with composer/conductor Bo Holten and Ars Nova Copenhagen. In 1994 he attended the Advanced Masters Program at the Aspen Music Festival and School, where he worked with Jacob Druckman and Bernard Rands, which led to McLoskey’s attending Harvard University for his doctorate. [7] [12] He also taught music theory and aural skills at The Crossroads School for the Arts in Santa Monica, CA.

During this time, McLoskey met, dated and married his wife, Kathleen Jordan. In 1995, the couple moved to Boston both to pursue degrees: McLoskey, a Ph.D. at Harvard, and his wife, her undergraduate, master's degree and artist diploma in opera performance. As a composition student at Harvard, McLoskey studied with Mario Davidovsky and Bernard Rands. [12] He also continued to pursue his love for early music and his interest in contemporary Danish music and composers. He took courses in early music performance at the Longy School of Music, studied voice with mezzo-soprano Laurie Monahan of Ensemble P.A.N. (Project Ars Nova) fame, published a book on 20th century Danish composers, presented papers and published an article on 20th century Danish music, and was awarded the Einar & Eva Haugen Award for Scandinavian Studies. [11]

After having three children while still pursuing all these interests, his wife told him, “You can’t be a composer, singer, conductor, musicologist, and a father and husband. Something’s got to give.” [11] Accordingly, he cut back on his early music performance and all his Danish musical research. Still, McLoskey remained busy with a variety of projects, including writing his dissertation; giving private lessons; teaching at Harvard, Wellesley, and Longy; holding two church jobs as a singer and organist; and running a skateboard company called Latter-Day Skates for eight years. [4]

Personal life

McLoskey married Kathleen Jordan in 1995. They have three children: Kyrie, born 1996; twins Degan and Kai, born 1999. As a practicing member of the LDS Church, McLoskey does not smoke or drink alcohol or coffee. He is an avid surfer, cyclist, and fly fisherman.

After completing his Ph.D., McLoskey taught for three years as a Lecturer at Harvard, and had Visiting Professor appointments at Wellesley College and Longy School of Music, Cambridge, MA. McLoskey joined the faculty of the University of Miami’s Frost School of Music in 2005, where he is currently a Full Professor of Composition and Theory. McLoskey’s students include American composers Peter Van Zandt Lane, Ben Morris, and Benjamin Webster, Italian composer Alessandra Salvati, and Brazilian composer Rodrigo Bussad. While at Frost, he formed, conducted, and sang with The Other Voices, a vocal ensemble performing medieval, Renaissance, and 20th/21st century repertoire.

McLoskey's music has been performed in 22 countries on six continents. He is the recipient of over 50 national and international composition awards, prizes, and fellowships, including the 2011 Goddard Lieberson Fellowship from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, awarded to “a composer of exceptional gifts.” McLoskey also holds the distinction of being the only composer in the 56 year history of the Contemporary Music Festival to win both the orchestral and chamber music competitions (awarded by two independent, blind juries).

He has been commissioned by the National Endowment for the Arts, Pew Charitable Trusts, the Barlow Endowment, The Fromm Foundation, Aaron Copland House, Meet The Composer, ASCAP & SCI (the Society of Composers, Inc.), the MATA Festival, The Crossing, King's Chapel (Boston), New Spectrum Foundation for Miranda Cuckson, Guerilla Opera, the International Joint Wind Quintet Project, Network for New Music (Philadelphia), The Alba Music Festival (Italy), the soundSCAPE Festival (Italy), Passepartout Duo (Berlin), Ensemble Berlin PianoPercussion, Calyx Trio, ensemberlino vocale, Kammerkoret NOVA (Oslo, Norway), Splinter Reeds, [Switch~ Ensemble], Liber, Dinosaur Annex Ensemble, the newEar Ensemble (Kansas City), TAWA Sax Quartet (Lima, Peru), The Calcutta Chamber Orchestra, internationally award-winning violinists Miclen Laipang and Linda Wang, oboist ToniMarie Marchioni, violist Leticia Oaks-Strong of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and many others.

McLoskey has lectured and given masterclasses at over thirty schools and festivals, including the Aspen Music Festival & School, the Aspen Institute, the Tanglewood Institute, Universität der Künste Berlin, Conservatorio Nacional de Música (Mexico), and two dozen universities. He has been the Composer-in-Residence at the Alba Music Festival (Italy), the soundSCAPE festival (Italy), the Charlotte New Music Festival, the Missouri Chamber Music Festival, the Carolina Chamber Music Festival, Piccolo Spoleto Festival, and the Webster University Young Composers Workshop.

While in Boston McLoskey was a member and then President of Composers in Red Sneakers. He has also served on the Board of Advisors of The Barlow Endowment for Music Composition, the Center for LDS Arts, and the Bogliasco Foundation.

Awards, fellowships, honors

Music

Significant works

Five years in the making, McLoskey’s 2017 oratorio Zealot Canticles: An Oratorio for Tolerance is the composer’s largest, most ambitious piece. Composed for the Philadelphia-based choir The Crossing, the 80-minute-long work calls for 3 soloists, choir, and chamber ensemble. When McLoskey picked the work’s texts by Nobel prize-winning author Wole Soyinka in 2012, he did not conceive how timely their message of tolerance would become half a decade later. “It was really a powerful and bittersweet experience to be writing this,” McLoskey said. “It felt sadly so apropos. Its message is not just about American politics. It’s universal,” citing the rise of open bigotry, racism, violence since 2016. [11]

For its timeliness and scope, McLoskey considers the oratorio his magnum opus. It was released on CD on Innova in 2018.

The most noteworthy of McLoskey’s instrumental large ensemble works is his concerto for brass quintet, What We Do Is Secret (2011). The titles of the concerto’s movements are all drawn from punk songs, although no punk music is ever quoted. Whereas the meaning of Zealot Canticles is universal and urgent, What We Do Is Secret has a much more personal genesis. McLoskey has explained the “formative, transforming experience” punk music had on him when he said, “Second to going on a mission, discovering punk rock changed my life more than anything else.” [11] What We Do Is Secret was awarded several composition awards.

Among McLoskey’s chamber music, the 1999 duo for viola and piano, Wild Bells, stands out both for its emotional impact and its technical composition. McLoskey cites this work as the one piece that exhibits his voice in a clear way. It sits at the crossroads of all his major artistic trajectories: “(1) The use, roles, and perception of consonance and dissonance (particularly the consonant use of dissonance and the dissonant use of consonance), (2) juxtaposition and non-traditional trajectories, (3) Neo-Heterophony, and (4) the incorporation of pre-tonal concepts, music, and techniques in a contemporary setting (perhaps an inevitable result of my years involved in the performance of medieval and Renaissance repertoire).” [11]

Though McLoskey has composed for every genre, he has a special interest in choral and vocal music. He has written for and been performed by some of the elite choral ensembles in the world, including The Crossing, Cincinnati Vocal Arts Ensemble, Borg Vokal (Norway), ensemberlino vocale (Berlin), Volti, Boston Choral Ensemble, Kammerkoret NOVA (Oslo, Norway), Chorosynthesis, C4, Boston Secession, Tapestry, Liber, NOTUS (the Indiana University Contemporary Vocal Ensemble), the Melbourne Chamber Choir (Australia), and The Hilliard Ensemble.

A noteworthy choral work is You Have a Name and a Place (2019); a choral cycle commissioned by Boston Choral Ensemble as the Winner of their 2018 International Composition Competition. The three movement work sets texts by and about gay Mormons, and was premiered by Stare At The Sun (Chicago) in March of 2022, following a two year delay caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many of McLoskey's works deal with social justice, politics, and human rights, including Agitprop, Resist, post/resist, Zealot Canticles, You Have a Name and a Place, and The Task Ahead Is Enormous, and There Is Not Much Time.

Much of McLoskey's work -- both instrumental and vocal -- is sacred in nature, albeit for non-liturgical use. McLoskey draws little distinction between "sacred" and "secular" music. Examples of significant sacred works are Symphoniæ Sacræ, an orchestral setting of various sacred texts; Prex Penitentialis: The Prayer of Petrarch - commissioned by the N.E.A. for soprano & orchestra, and the winner of three awards including the Omaha Symphony Orchestra International New Music Competition and the 5th Annual Boston Chamber Ensemble International Composition Contest, setting excepts of Petrarch's "Septem psalmi penitentialis” and “Canzoniere”; and […]Qumran Psa[lms…], a choral cycle for triple choir, setting fragments of lost psalms from the Dead Sea Scrolls, commissioned by ensemberlino vocale and awarded the 2016 American Prize for Choral Composition.

His 50-minute work for mezzo-soprano and sinfonietta One Book Called Ulysses (2022) was commissioned by Network for New Music, the Barlow Endowment, and the Musical Fund of Philadelphia for the 100th anniversary of James Joyce's Ulysses.

His opera The Captivity of Hannah Duston (2020), with a libretto by Glen Nelson, was commissioned by the Barlow Endowment and Guerilla Opera (Boston) [9]
