“David [Sinden] of course provides continuity with the past as well as centered leadership and solid musicianship for the present. I was most impressed with his preparation for and conducting of the Christ Church Singers rehearsal…but, equally, his sense of vocation as a church musician and his engagement in excellence and growth.”

“If the choral works heard here are reflective of the musical fare for the services at St. Peter’s, then the congregation, the community, and the liturgy are well served there, and this choir can be an example-setter for others. … Listening to the recorded voices and instruments at St. Peter’s Church brings one a sense of hope and provides an inspired reminder of what once was and what shall be.”

“Sinden’s artistic technique…was apparent throughout”

“The organist and the music were one and the true features of the Baroque work were apparent in the performance. Sinden has obviously found the heart of the Old Master Bach and displayed his mastery especially in the closing work.””

“Larger-scale works by Frank Boles, James Erb, John Ferguson, and Sinden himself round out the choral portion of the collection, with a bonus track being an epic ten-minute work for solo organ by Zachary Wadsworth, Variations on an Old American Tune: six dramatic takes on the effervescent tune ‘Land of Rest’, vividly rendered by Maestro Sinden.”

“Thank you for playing the pipe organ for us. I loved it. It was really loud, but that was the cool part.”

“Organist David Sinden provided masterful accompaniment for the choir — shading all the crevices, plumbing the depths, and exalting the peaks.”

“[David Sinden’s] ‘Jesus Paid It All’ is wonderful—and quite unexpected from an Episcopal choir who also sing much more complex music even here.””
