"searching for a recording of dinerstein's when david heard, i came upon this recording of music by pacific northwest composers. every piece is a gem, sung by a university choir whose members are all voice majors. their commitment to technical, musical, and emotional connection with the music makes for an experience which is impossible to describe. don't miss this recording of 20th century music."

"While I am still trying to locate a copy of this CD for my personal collection, I have now heard a couple of tracks courtesy of KOPB public radio. The music, arrangements, and performances are simply stellar. Specifically, O Magnum Mysterium is a haunting piece that, while modern and making refreshing use of dissonance, is very approachable and enjoyable without being harsh. Superb material."
