Reviews

'This set of six variations on Scheidt's Christmas carol. A Child is Born in Bethlehem, won the AGO's Region VII Composition Competition in 2005. It more than fills the competition requirements. The melody is recognizable in each movement, which makes it ideal for church or recital. A fine addition to Christmas organ music.' The American Organist, November 07
