'The composer intended to produce melodic themes. He certainly achieved this especially in the Molto Cantabile, with his majestic tune in the style of Mahler.' 'The sweeping strings were impressive throughout and, with clever scoring, the whole work came over successfully and it is certainly worth another airing.' Bristol Evening Post |
| Stephen is very much at home writing in many different musical forms and styles and his music is always very well structured and thought out. His compositions always incorporate well shaped melody lines, intricate harmonies, often of which, include some very creative discordant passages, which add a great deal of interesting texture and charm to his compositions. | |
| His scores are always very clearly presented and are always typeset using the latest Sibelius Music software programme. | Ian Higginson |
