Book Synopsis


Trade Review

"L’Estrange’s music is always tuneful and accessible, and although this anthem is more challenging than some of his others, On Eagles’ Wings has much to recommend it. Commissioned by St Davids Cathedral Festival it was written with cathedral choristers in mind, and long, sustained phrases, plus a vocal range which is fairly high throughout for the first sopranos, would prove demanding for inexperienced singers. The organ part, on three staves, can be given to a pianist (playing the manual part) with an electric bass playing the pedal line – a reminder of the composer’s jazz roots which permeate his musical style. Overall this would make an uplifting anthem for confident trebles or upper voices."
