It is definitely a work that ... should be part of any choir's repertoire. Mastersinger Andrew Carter's abitility to write idiomatic choral music in a personal style has greatly enriched contemporary music-making. His Benedicite has now attained classic status...graceful rhythms and orchestration, music that never outstays its welcome. Donald Webster, Yorkshire Post [Benedicite] exactly fitted the bill and was greatly enjoyed by the choirs, orchestra, and audience. I am sure that [it] will recieve many more performances in the future as it is exactly what's needed in the choral repertoire. Philip Ledger This is tuneful, joyous music, well thought out, with nice contrasts of mood, tempo, and orchestration between movements. Nicholas Bannan, Music Teacher One of the most absorbing and enjoyable premieres I have heard in years...rewarding equally for performers and audience alike. Neil Butterworth, Scottish Review
