Awards and reviews
As a whole collection, these pieces provide a wonderful contrast, capture exquisitely the mood of Raine's words and display a superb command of vocal writing. I have no doubt that, for a choir which sets itself high standards and wants something to mould and craft into performance, there is a very worthwhile cycle of pieces here
