Love
Gareth Treseder’s three-minute wedding anthem Love is a beautifully atmospheric and quietly lush creation. The chord-cluster style is - by the composer’s own admission - a ‘sly’ homage to Eric Whitacre, but Treseder is being unjustly modest in saying so. There is a captivating integrity to Treseder’s short piece... It is a brave move to tackle this famous passage from Corinthians, but when it is done as sensitively and unfussily as this, then the endeavour is vindicated.

In Flanders Fields: A War Cantata
It was such a pleasure doing your wonderful piece: it is so powerful and I think we were all deeply affected by it. The textures, colours, and emotions you achieve are really stunning and I was delighted with the choir’s response to it.
Professor Edward Elwyn Jones, Harvard University Choir
The music is very approachable, and obviously well crafted.

Bravo. Such beautiful, sensitive writing...

(The work) benefits not only from a winning melody but also from inventive and interesting part writing.
