“[The] interplay of motifs and rhythms, tightly organised, is praiseworthy. What stands out is Lambert’s mellifluous writing for the ensemble – three trumpets, horn, three trombones.” William Kreindler, musicwebinternational.com

REviews

…mov’d with concord of sweet sounds, [was written] for a sixtieth wedding anniversary, but it works fine as abstract music. Its interplay of motifs and rhythms, tightly organized, is praiseworthy. What stands out is Lambert’s mellifluous writing for the ensemble – three trumpets, horn, three trombones.
