“The emotional scope broadened as the work progressed. The energy at times rose very high, almost with the proclamatory force and rhythmic insistence of Carl Orff. In my favorite section Expecta Dominium/Ecce Venit in Nubibus (Wait for the Lord/Look, He is Coming with the Clouds), Terry Everson’s trumpet solo and Corrine Byrne’s soprano aria consoled us through an almost Puccini-like richness of orchestration and melodic invention. Throughout, the words came through clearly and seemed to matter.”
