“A formidable composer whose technique and lyric gifts are exceptional.”
—John Corigliano, Composer, New York
"An honest, inspired, and deftly crafted work, one of scope; of carefully designed, satisfaying, back-and-forth shifts from tension to relief; of musical elements fitting poetic content; of artistic worth."
—Herald-Times
“Ave Maria is as close to a masterpiece as you can come in four minutes. Nightshade is for classical music fans who know where Freddy the Freeloader comes from...Hey MacArthur folks! Give that boy a grant and some Ritalin so he can spend more time composing!”
