‘…real freshness, energy, and a bracing clarity.  Not to mention a fine sense of humor…a mischievous sense of things rendered subtly topsy-turvy.  These qualities are most evident in Whistling in the Dark (1999) and Wet Ink (2009), itself a reworking for nine instruments of a violin/piano work written the year before. Extant (1997) is a two-movement chamber concerto for bassoon in all but name, whose sustained lyrical line for the instrument in its first movement is a wonder to hear.’   Fanfare Magazine
