Review
"Carson Cooman’s Prescott service, written on the occasion of Prescott JunBurt-Chang’s birthday, offers choirs theopportunity to tightly unify the music of an Evensong Service. Both the canticlesand the responses are modest in scope, among the shortest of settings of these texts. Yet typical of Cooman’s works, the pieces are replete with interesting ideas. ...With modest ranges and straight forward homophonic writing, these moderately easy pieces would suit almost any choir. The organ part plays equal partner, contributing its own motivic ideas and development. ... This service is well worth considering for any choir, especially those less fluent with singing Evensong." --AAM Journal, January 2019
