"The first bits of melody in Donald Crockett's Night Scenes are clearly heard as additive constructions...The process is easy to follow at first hearing, yet leads to an irregular and unpredictable meter...The composer's ability to make his thought processes lucid while keeping the listener off-kilter is a key reason for the success of his fine new disc of chamber works performed by the estimable Firebird Ensemble."

"To Airy Thinness Beat is a chamber concerto for viola and six instruments, performed here with vivid color and palpable verve by soloist Kate Vincent.  The colors Crockett conjures are a marvel, and far more varied than one might expect from such a small contingent."

"This disc is an ideal collaboration between ensemble and composer.  The commitment and energy are palpable, and the works are uniformly top-drawer."
