REVIEWS
"While developing the game The Last Winter, working with Timothy when composing character soundtracks was enjoyable and seamless. Taking cue from audio touchstones and written character dialogue, Timothy was generous in expounding his composition process and open to feedback towards the final piece. His expertise was very much appreciated on the project and would definitely work with him again." Ryan Pagdanganan game developer "Mr. Powell has written a work that allows younger singers to showcase their developing talents, without making it sound pandering, a mark of a skilled composer who understands the voice in all stages of development. Including a piano and violin [St. George and the Dragon] was led with the steady guiding influence of Mr. Powell. It was given a standout performance by some up-and-coming talents. It is always a treat to see the smiles on the faces of these young performers as they give it their all. It is an image I never tire of, and when it is paired with a polished performance, it is all the better. The audience loved it and rewarded the group with a standing ovation, ending what was a great evening of music." Jeffrey Williams -New York Concert Reviews "I expected the Carmina Burana to be a knockout, but the Powell Wedding Mass took me by surprise. I hope to hear more from Mr. Powell." -Larry Hayes from Sundance Outdoor Adventure Society "Powell's Wedding Mass is a challenge to the traditional; joining the contemporary choral expression to the academic heritage of medieval times....No rigidity but love in the entire composition." -Anibal Hernandez M. Gemzel from Time Disappearing and Spirit Remaining "I was in awe to have been given the privilege to hear this piece, [Incarnatio Mysteria] which was so heavenly, tender and pure that it reduced me to tears. The tempos and melodies of the different movements of the piece ushered me through periods of worship, awe and praise as they sang about the mysterious and wonderful incarnation of Christ." - Angela Black from letter to The Augusta Chronicle |
