Style
Much of Holsinger’s music is characterized by unrelenting tempos, ebullient rhythms, fluctuating accents, poly-lineal textures, vigorous asymmetrical melodies, and high emotional impact. Many of Holsinger's pieces are characterized by a lively and kinetic mood. He frequently makes use of shifts in time signature, with the overall effect of rhythmic richness. In his composition In The Spring, at the Time when Kings Go Off to War, he even uses additive meter, or irregular subdivisions of beats with his already unusual time signatures.
