Editorial Reviews
Claude Baker, professor of composition, Indiana University; former composer in residence, St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, 2004
The piece is impressive at every level: the architecture is flawless, the orchestration stunning, the emotional impact profound.

Melinda Wagner, Composer, Recipient of the 1999 Pulitzer Prize in Music, 2004
I listened to your CD the day it arrived and have revisited it again and again. . . . expertly written and personal.

Unexceptional Midcentury Modernism.......2006-09-04

This CD is so saturated with quotes praising it and photos of the composer, who is also the producer, that I was immediately put on my guard. Shephen Jones is a well-schooled academic of mediocre inspiration who reminds me most of William Schuman wannabe of 50 years ago. His angular, brassy motives have energy, skill, and stucture, but nothing that grabs my soul.

Well performed, as you would expect from the Chicago Symphony.

All you get is 18 minutes of this so-so Symphony. If you like this style, listen instead to something by another back-patter quoted in the album, Augusta Reed Thomas. She has more to offer.
