There will come soft rains : choral works

"The music of Ēriks Ešenvalds has been well served on disc in recent years. Individual pieces often crop up on mixed recital discs of choral music but several choirs have gone even further and devoted whole programmes to his pieces (...). Now, the Pacific Lutheran University Choir of the West has entered the lists with this programme of his music. Perhaps inevitably, some of the repertoire overlaps with the earlier discs but also there are some items that were new to me ... This is an enjoyable and well-executed anthology of music by one of the most interesting of today's choral composers".

"Editor's choice: This new release can stand proudly against all rivals. Richard Nance has polished his Pacific Lutheran choristers to perfection. Balance and tuning are beyond reproach, with superb control of a full dynamic range. The soloists' contributions are another great attraction. The disc closes with a deliciously 'floating' close-harmony arrangement of 'Amazing Grace', inspired by Whitney Houston, no less".
