What a clever pianist/arranger! (Sakura)Terry Edwards (Chorus Master of Royal Opera, Covent Garden)Lovely arrangement, part of a thoroughly good programme. (A Bunch of Thyme)Richard StilgoeA superbly simple arrangement - the art that conceals art. (A Bunch of Thyme)Michael Brewer (Director of National Youth Choir)Congratulations to Michael Neaum on his fine arrangements.Iain Burnside (Presenter on TV and radio, musicologist, journalist and critic)?A beautiful arrangement which will add a touch of magic to any Christmas programme.(Sweet Little Jesus Boy)BFYC NewsletterEffective, yet not too complicated... A great arrangement, which would enhance any choir's repertoire.(I Once Loved A Lad)?BFYC NewsletterA typically deft arrangement. (Tiree Love Song)?The SingerGaudete?is a song that you can really enjoy singing. (Gaudete)?BFYC NewsletterA cracking arrangement. (Gloucestershire Wassail)?GoodmusicRhythmical, jazzy and extremely effective. (Virgin Mary Had A Little Baby?&?Ding Dong Merrily On High)Organists' ReviewParticularly effective are Neaum's folk-song settings, which at their best have a Grainger-esque quality.John's Gone To Hilo?is typical of his best work, with its adroit manipulation of vocal combinations. Neaum is always aware of the need to create variety....The SingerA poignant setting. (My Lagan Love)?The SingerThe Water Of Tyne?is a sublime arrangement. With the rippling waters of the accompaniment and the wonderfully rich harmonisation and part writing, there is no better way of expressing the mood of this beautiful folk-song. This is clearly not a one-off either. Many of Neaum's other arrangements are equally successful, so strong in their mood and spirit and showing a wonderful understanding of the singing voice.?A Mexican Lullaby?sets a beautiful melody. In Neaum's inimitable style, what begins so simply grows in character and beauty... All in all this is a stunning arrangement, not too difficult to sing, but undoubtedly effective. Not to be missed.Indian Love Song?is a most effective piece, gentle, warm, simple and romantic; it could add an inspired moment to any concert programme.I have no hesitation in recommending?2 American Folk Songs?to you. They complement each other well and will bring undoubted pleasure to anyone who meets with them.?I Wish I Was A Child Again?is full of yearning and?Sourwood Mountain?is full of life, energy and humour. I have no doubt that it will put areal smile on the faces of the singers.(from an article by?George Adamson?in?Music Teacher,2001) The choristers in my choir just LOVE your arrangements.Madeleine Humer (Victoria Children’s Choir)My Women’s choir,?el Canto, adores?If We Were in Love?and begs to sing it; it is really lovely. The voice leading is so kind to the young women’s instrument.Your arrangement is beautiful – all day I have been leaving my work and returning to the piano to go over it again and again….. each time I find it pleases me more. It is so sensitive and to the character of the song and so lovely to sing. The girls will be thrilled. We feel so fortunate to have someone like you writing for us.?Elaine Quilichini (Calgary Girls Choir)We performed?Last Rose of Summer?last week and it was so gorgeous; everyone loved it!Elaine Quilichini (Calgary Girls Choir)I have fallen in love with your wonderful arrangements!Elaine Quilichini (Calgary Girls Choir)Music PublishersMichael Neaum14 Stainsby Drive, Mansfield, Notts NG18 3EX, UKTel: 01623 631658E-mail:?michael.neaum@Oxford University PressMusic Department, Walton Street, Oxford.
