Randall Shinn composes operas and concert music. Reviewers have called his music “lyrical,” “passionate,” and “compelling.” His operas mix wit and fiery passion—producing results reviewers term “stunning” and “spell-binding”.
Shinn’s use of dance rhythms have caused reviewers to remark on his music’s “sensation of physical motion" and “sensuality.” His works have been described as “refined” and “powerfully expressive.” One reviewer remarked that Shinn integrates “modern music and language with more familiar classical styles to create a sound that is uniquely his.” Other reviewers have described his works as “sophisticated,” “long-haunting,” and “lusciously beautiful.”
Shinn also writes opera librettos, as well as web posts about style. Some of his posts can be found here, and there are more at DeepGlamour.net.
