Marie Stultz on Songs of the Sea and Sky, writing in The Choral Room at Spectrum Music
“1. Hush, the Waves The first movement deals with a mother and child waiting for their husband and father to return from the sea. The accompaniment imitates the waves of the ocean, providing beautiful counterpoint with the voices. At the close of this piece, the divisi in the voice parts creates a sense of longing for the father's return. 2. Flying Man The text for this movement was created around the time of the Wright Brothers' first flight. Constantly changing meters and brilliant, original text painting depict the glorious sense of flying. 3. To Brush the Cobwebs Off the Sky This amusing, expressive movement employs ascending stepwise scale passages to describe an old woman who magically brushes the imaginary cobwebs from "off the sky!"

Global Search for New Musicals, on Grace & Favour
“You are very adept in writing for this genre. The Sondheimesque' style fitted beautifully for this piece. The synthesis of the music and lyrics work seamlessly to the story and drive the narrative along. An example of this is 'Seminal Investments', the musical maturity along with the wit of the lyrics result in a hilarious yet very poignant moment in the piece. It is particularly fast pacing with many twists and turns of the plot... As you have such a strong base from which to work, go back and look to see where you could tighten the plot... But whilst doing this, you do not need to simplify the musical style. You could even be braver in your musical choices...Please keep working on 'Grace and Favour'. It is a show that deserves with some work to have a commercial life”
