Randy Tinnin performed the work on E-flat trumpet matching Rhonda Nus Tinnin's mature voice with perfect balance and control. (Rhonda Nus Tinnin sang) beautifully lyric lines . . . Randy Tinnin displayed fine control on both the technical and the lyrical side of the piece's substantial demands . . ."
