About
"On behalf of the choir I congratulate you on writing such an uplifting and well-crafted piece which we thoroughly enjoyed performing. You not only write beautiful music but you write well for singers. "I Will Lift Up Mine Eyes" really suited secondary school students. We all loved the trumpet solos and the organ accompaniment was a new experience for most of the students. Other choir directors were very positive in their comments too – I gave one of my copies away. Another commented enthusiastically "I am glad he didn't resolve that Amen". Thanks again. Your music has given a lot of people joy – we loved performing it and it seemed to be very well received by the audience".
– Roger Powdrell, Head of Music, St Patrick's College, Wellington
