Tarik O'Regan (b.1978)
"Much more accessible and suitable for choirs with even moderate vocal resources is Locus iste, an atmospheric setting of familiar words owing something to the sound world of Arvo Pärt." - Christopher Field, Music Teacher, July 04
"There is a Renaissance delight and expertise in creating a complicated weave, best exemplified by the close double canon in the final section of Locus iste. Here climax is achieved by the sudden simultaneity of canonic voices - a moment of resolution which may be felt rather than understood by the listener." - Rosemary Broadbent, Church Music Quarterly Sept 05
"At just 25, Tarik O'Regan already has an established reputation as a rising star. The half-a-dozen works published in New Horizons give some indication of what the fuss is all about . . ." - Matthew Greenall, The Singer
