    Friends, just got my copy of this in the mail:

    ...and...wow. This collection is even better than I thought it would be.

    I remember how ecstatic I was when Kevin Allen came on the scene. Finally, someone who could tap into the Renaissance masters and combine their skillful polyphonic writing with a modern harmonic palette. And now, I must say that Peter isn't far behind. Some of the stuff in here is pure gold.

    Grab a copy of this! If not 20! It spans the entire liturgical year, so there's something for every nook and cranny on the calendar.

    I'm excited to give his "O Clarissima Mater" (I detect some Lassus influences here) a spin:

    Beautiful.

    We just performed his Missa Spe Salvi and O Clarissima Mater for an EF Mass this past Monday. Marvelous music.

    Just got my copy last week. Am much impressed both with the quality of the book and the artistry of the music.
