Rezensionen

The part-writing is largely melodic and intuitive, and should be picked up relatively easily by less strong readers. Another factor to recommend these settings is their thoroughly inclusive and topical subject matter, which should result in a broad appeal to many ensembles. Tom Wiggall, Music Teacher July 07
