Reviews
[The piece] is set as an extended fantasy for solo singer, accompanying herself with triangle, woodblock and cymbal….the result is eloquently moving.”
- —Heuwell Tircuit, San Francisco Chronicle
Nightingale is an avian tour de force….Woodblock, triangle, suspended cymbal and voice created a nostalgic, almost mystical mood which left me wishing that the work were longer.”
- —Richard Capparela, KITE, Albany, New York
