Review"...In the Garden, which has just been given its premiere at the Aspen Music Festival...proved to be the most important American work to be introduced here this summer..." -- San Francisco Chronicle<BR><BR>

"...[Barnes] is obviously sensitive to the poetry and music to be found in commonplace circumstances and knows how to transmute them into a work of art. The ritualistic reading of the simple epitaphs; the broadening of the poems into vocal passages that are by turns ingenuous, hortatory, pleading and peaceful; the spectral sounds suggesting the eerie quiet of the graveyard are all beautifully handled..." <BR>--Raymond Ericson, The New York Times
