R E V I E W
"Patricia Van Ness can stand up well to Hildegard  -- and that nine centuries later.  The music functions as a bridge between the times.  Both women, the nun and the contemporary American composer, perfectly complement each other; the CD breathes the breath of the sound world of the twelth century with its highly symbolic texts by both composers.  For example, “Dominationes” from the Nine Orders is medatative, ecstatic and ethereal, surprisingly clear and beautiful as offered by Tapestry.  The vocal ensemble masters its repertoire so brilliantly that this old and spiritual sound must enchant the listener.  In short: a pleasure!
--Gaby Beinhorn, SUEDWESTRUNDFUNK (Germany)
