Reviews
Esmail is known for fusing Indian and western musical elements, which is exactly what happens here. The Hindustani syllables that form the text fall into uncomplicated patterns and the music is easily learned. The concept is simple, the effect pulsatingly exciting. * Jeremy Jackman, Choir and Organ, July/August 2021 *
