"Richard’s Horn solo . . . was particularly well done."

The Berkeley Gazette
April 1983
“Richard Burdick who plays French horn with the group has written a fascinating Suite that is a study in textures. . . . While the music is not programatic, the titles, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, are suggestive and the music leads the listener down a “garden path” of audial images that “conjur up” visual pictures.
