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 *
