"...An excellent rendition...the music has an intrinsic appeal to the senses....”

PITTSBURGH POST GAZETTE

. . . . . .

"A rhythmic complexity that is partly masked by the soothing, timeless quality of the music. Repeated patterns alter subtly, in a rich instrumental texture that flows like a stream with different currents converging and diverging. Briggs' work, GatheringTogether, derives from the minimalist school and is interesting for its rhythmic complexity and timbral and textural juxtapositions."
