Reviews

"Offers the musically curious undergraduate or general reader far more than one might expect!...The result is a work unexpectedly both utile et dulci, something of a browser's joy for anyone prepared to be seriously interested in this temporarily out-of-fashion, yet really quite important, composer."--Choice

"[Kennedy's] exposition on the composer's life and music is both comprehensive and superlative."--Choral Journal
