What is the Word
“what is the word is an intensely dramatic and moving half-hour piece that impresses the listener with its consummate combination of ambition and accomplishment, while the disc as a whole is one that repays repeated listening and deep engagement.”
The Journal of Music
“Dwyer finds convincing sound worlds for the poems’ contrasting themes – from ritualistic gestures in the portentous Neither to the haloing of the stuttering text in what is the word with luminous, buoyant harmonies.
