Reviews

  • "The primary reaction I have to these works is that they are witty, amusingly variegated and lighthearted."

    – Scott Morrison

  • "...[These works] should bring delight to the listener acquainted with early 20th Century modernist modes, especially works for wind ensembles."

    – American Record Guide
