Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians Neal Campbell is ideally suite to perform and record the music of this important American musician (1905-1958), having written his DMA thesis on the composer. … The performances are uniformly fine, and the sound is commendable. – Victor Hill
The American Organist Though many of these works have been published, two items, which were not, should be: the brief organ Lullaby, with its aura of Delius’s Walk in the Paradise Garden, and the moving soprano solo setting of Psalm 121. The Mag / Nunc pair is as fine as any by an American, and the plaintive Elegy touches heartstrings, too. – Michael Barone
