"Bill's music is always accessible and we have always received positive feedback after the performance of any of his music.  The textures have a modern church appeal while keeping solid compositional structure.  Small and large programs will be able to perform and enjoy his music."

"Bill has a gift for poignant melodies and smart accessible part-writing.  His compositions are fresh and innovative, yet somehow warmly familiar. He has the remarkable ability to create original anthems and new arrangements for a variety of situations, orchestrations and vocal abilities."

Director of Music and Anthem Recipient

"The predominant feeling after hearing/performing one of Bill's pieces is always "WOW"!  He is definitely a composer of extraordinary talent who deserves to have a wide audience exposed to his special musical offerings.  I find Bill's pieces most exciting and inspirational!"

B. Dunning
Anthem Recipient/Honoree

"Bill wrote multiple anthems for our choir and each one featured his signature lush harmonies and tastefully crafted accompaniments and/or orchestrations.  He has an innate understanding of the text and how to bring it to life through the music.  Bill has a wonderful knack for composition that is deeply engaging for the singers while remaining remarkably accessible for the congregation or audience."
