"[Ades] draws on a range of influences, from the long tradition of English medieval and Renaissance polyphony to jazz to rock to minimalism, and combines it with extravagant lyricism and harmonic freedom of late Tippett. Somewhat like James MacMillan, whom he resembles in the extravagance of his utterance, he combines all these strains into something new and rather wonderful...This is a remarkable achievement that deserves the highest recommendation."
Fanfare
"Brilliantly performed...under the composer's direction, this short quasi-oratorio is both gripping and terrifying."
