I hope they get to record this. I was at the first night and was blown away. It is such a great piece, and I would love to hear it again!

This piece deserves a larger hearing. I hope all the great reviews will spur this on.

Everybody in Dallas should come see this! I'm in the Dallas Symphony Chorus and I think this is a wonderful original work.
