Feedback from Hirers

When hiring out sets of parts and scores, I have never asked for feedback.

Most people do put a note in with the music when they return it or they send me an email describing how their performance went.

One of the first hirers commented on the poor quality of the paper used to print the score (I now use a better paper) and, so far, that is the only negative feedback I have received.

Below are some of the comments sent to me.

The arrangement worked superbly and the concert was a huge success - enjoyed by performers and audience alike.
I would recommend this version particularly to smaller, budget conscious choral societies.
Nick Austin - Stanmore Choral Society

The concert was, in my view, one of the best we have ever performed, and I have been in the choir for over 30 years.
I cannot remember a time when the audience gave us a standing ovation, as they did on Saturday.
Rilla Paterson, Stanmore Choral Society

Many thanks. Your orchestration was a great success for us. I am heartily recommending it to others!
Tina Guthrie, Crediton Chorale

I thought I would let you know that we had our first rehearsals with the orchestra yesterday in preparation for this weekend's performances of The Creation.
They were, in a word, splendid.
Our tenor soloist has sung the work many, many times. He was particularly impressed: he said to me after the rehearsal, "I like this! Nothing seems missing, and the balances are a LOT better!" He especially liked your elegant solution for the flute trio in Part III.
You have done a wonderful job, and we are all very grateful for the opportunity to do the work in this excellent version.
Thanks, and congratulations!
David Schildkret - Music Director, Mount Desert Summer Chorale, Bar Harbor, ME

The concert went well and the audience really appreciated the balance between the orchestra and the choir that your reduced orchestration helped us achieve.
Gary Brook, Potters Bar Choral Society

I am just packing the scores of Creation up after the concert last night. What a wonderful arrangement!! Thanks so much for all your work with it - it works so well.
Adrian Griffiths, St Peter's Singers, Wirral
