...Even in this first movement I was impressed by the stirring quality of the music, and I wrote in my notes, "This is a work that any classically-inclined director or chorus would want to perform." Dick Frantzreb. Editor. The Sacramento Choral Review

... I can say with confidence that it was intensely engaging from beginning to end. Dick Frantzreb. Editor. The Sacramento Choral Review |

Taking in the great sense of movement and excitement in the fourth movement, I was thinking that this Magnificat, with its variety of styles and fresh musical ideas, was unlike anything else I've heard. Dick Frantzreb. Editor. The Sacramento Choral Review |

"Everything felt new, with the feeling of listening to something beautiful, movement after movement, never heard before. The work of a great composer" Dr. Jose Carlos Carmona. Commissioner and Conductor of the world premiere |
... It took mere seconds for all of us in the audience to rise to our feet and deliver the longest standing ovation that I can recall. In this premiere, we had witnessed a major event, the debut of piece from a young composer that may well become a mainstay of the contemporary classical repertoire. For me, it was a moment of awe, as I believe it was for all the others who just could not stop applauding. Dick Frantzreb. Editor. The Sacramento Choral Review
