REVIEW COMMENTS

"I sense both a remarkable talent, devotion and originality in this work. I also found it refreshing to sense something of the New Zealand ethnic tint to the imagery and expression. This is entirely new and distinctive."
(Assoc. Pastor Bryan Jeffery Leech, hymnwriter, CA, USA)

"Overall the music is very appealing – the a cappella work is really delightful. A wonderful and comprehensive collection of images."
(Composer and Emeritus Professor John Ritchie)


"Spread your feathers belongs in every hymnal, because there are too few hymns available on the nurturing aspects of the divine."
(The Rev. Dr Wilbur Skeels, Baptist pastor and composer, Thousand Oaks, CA, USA)


"an innovative collection of hymns and spiritual songs that catch the attention with unexpected turns of phrase, uncommon words and fresh images, that challenge singers with changing metres and unusual harmonies."
(Emeritus Professor Colin Gibson, leading NZ hymn writer)
