Here’s what others had to say:
 
"7 Psalms is an affecting piece of music, a remarkable achievement, and the upcoming performance at Orchestra Hall should not be missed." —American Jewish World
 
"I wasn’t prepared for the power, scope, and enormity of 7 Psalms ... It was requiem and hosanna, blues and hymn.” —bebopified
 
“Inspired by Johnny Cash and John Coltrane, Mozart’s Requiem, Bach’s Mass in B Minor and Radiohead, Walker wrote new music for the ancient Hebrew poems that are cries for help, howls of frustration and shouts of joy.” —Star Tribune
