Gabriel Jackson (b.1962)
"Ever increasing in popularity, Gabriel Jackson's distinctive and memorable style prevails throughout these three very different pieces . . . Well worthwhile for those choirs with the forces available to tackle a piece of these dimensions . . . These three anthems are all refreshingly original as well as being accessible to singer and listener alike." - Church Music Quarterly June 05
". . .the resultant peel of bells that cascades from one voice to another is a distinctive and inspired effect, introduced by Jackson to start the piece and brought surging back at its exulatnat climax. For a choir that can muster a few basses with bottom Ds and sopranos with top Bs, the eight-minute Cecilia Virgo would be an excellent addition to the repertoire: tonal yet innovative; engaging yet unpredictable." - Armin Zanner, Music Teacher March 2005
"Cecilia Virgo would set accomplished choirs a challenge, though a rewarding and far from insuperable one." - Matthew Greenall, The Singer, June 2004
