I've heard a lot of Gabriel Jackson's choral music but I'm inclined to think that on two levels To the field of stars is the most fantastically imagined of all his pieces. In the first place the concept is brilliantly original . . . The text selection indicates a composer who is seriously well-read and who has the flair and skill to bring together these widely varied elements into a convincing whole. The second way in which To the field of stars is fantastically imagined is in the music itself . . . He uses these resources to produce exciting music and an amazingly rich range of textures. The score constantly stimulates, intrigues and delights the listener's ear

Jackson writes that he "didn't want to write a literal account of the journey, a series of postcards from the pilgrimage route a for that has already been done and done very well." Instead he has composed a work about "journeying in the wider sense a the physical, emotional and psychological struggle to reach a long-sought-after and life-changing goal" . . . I've been enormously impressed by To the Field of Stars. I admire greatly the thought that has gone into the selection of the texts and the music itself is marvellous. This is an important, richly imagined work
