'Due attention, enhanced by a generous, well-reproduced collection of musical examples, is given to an impressive number of noteworthy scores ... the first extended single-author study of Smalley's music to be published, and Christopher Mark's often penetrating treatment of his subject matter is extremely successful in reminding us of the depth and breadth of the composer's creative achievements. There is much here to stimulate and enlighten readers with an interest in new music from the past six decades and as such this is a highly recommendable book, which I shall return to often'. Tempo 'Mark's analyses are detailed and insightful'. www.musictrust.com.au
