Editorial Reviews
David Cleary, New Music Connoisseur, Summer 2000
The pieces on this CD are terrifically good in many ways… clearly a composer of the first rank… highly recommended

Sarah Mantel, IAWM Journal, Vol. 6 nos. 1 / 2
evocative use of tonal color, extended techniques, dramatic gesture…soaring, dramatic vocal lines, quasi recitative, cross-rhythms and contrapuntal interplay...
