“Daniel Edmonds had prepared a series of subtle, clever arrangements which enhanced the vocal patterns, and provided the voices with a lush warm background, adding a completely new dimension to their sound, as well as adding opportunities for soloists from within the orchestra”
– Bill Stephens, The Canberra Review
