| "I was captivated... approachable and dramatic. Simple plainsong-like themes are developed by the main chorus while the children's chorus adds theatrical drama with their plaintive interjections based on 16th and 17th century poems. Some of the best choral effects come in the movements where the children's chorus answer the Latin text of the adult choir with simple English words. Trumpets widely spaced on the stage, call to each other with haunting fanfares." - Basingstoke Gazette |
| "a brilliant setting .. powerful, not to say exciting" - Musical Opinion |
| "Ian Schofield's Te Deum is a winner. It is highly rhythmic, easy on the ear but never sickly-sweet, with astringent harmonies used sparingly to sharp effect." - The News, Portsmouth |
| "Could with great value become part of the modern choral society repertoire" - The Organ |
| "A great success. Our students thoroughly enjoyed singing Ian's music - it's so accessible and well written." - Geoff Nobes, director of the children's choir |
| "Accessible but heavyweight contemporary.. deserves serious consideration." - Choir & Organ |
| "Contemporary, vibrant, accessible, and enjoyable both to sing and to hear." - Jonathon Willcocks |
