PRAISE:
"Here's another fine collection from one of my favorite choirs - Gloriae Dei Cantores... the overall mood is jubilant and upbeat, relieved by occasional moments of quiet ecstasy and reflection. ...the choir's strongest suit is their spiritual fervor and intensity... Patterson, having fashioned a choral ensemble whose rich sonorities and faultless technique can be taken for granted, can concentrate on applying their strengths to the music's sacred meaning."
