About this title

Review

Both of these items are pleasant, well crafted and well presented . . . they are both beautiful settings in their own right, and should therefore have every opportunity to establish themselves in the repertoire . . . The harmonic language is rich, and at times unusual . . . Definitely worth a look! (Church Music Quarterly June 05)
