Clayton Kennedy, bass-baritone, USA

'I listened to your piece. I like it! The descending arpeggio at the end of phrases is quite memorable. I can hear the clusters you are going for in the 2nd/3rd stanza. The variations between sections are really nice, getting more and more adventuresome as the piece goes along. I like the occasional break in style that you have, a blue note here, or unresolved something or other there. The chromatic last stanza is Mahleresque at times, and very fragile/plaintive. I like it!'
