““Douglas Pew is a prolific composer. His output is amazing and includes opera, oratorio and cantatas. His works are well-crafted and appealing. Though he has many works for orchestra and chamber combinations, he is at his best writing for the human voice.””

““Doug carries within him a deep devotion to the Lord and a spiritual maturity rarely found in modern composers. Certainly, his religious creations, and especially his hymns, convey that faith and devotion in a most personal and moving manner. It is rare that such gifted composers have the spiritual maturity to speak in such an effective way as to communicate those personal spiritual manifestations, and through compositions that genuinely touch those who participate as listeners.””

““The caliber of Douglas Pew’s hymn writing is remarkable. He possesses an exceptional ability to match the affect of the music with the text. He combines expert part-writing with singable melodies that possess all of the attributes of a hymn of the highest quality. Doug’s intentionality and skill allow him to communicate the messages of the gospel of Jesus Christ through the medium of the hymn in a most powerful yet humble manner. They are musical gems yet not complicated or difficult to sing or understand. His hymn writings are tremendously needed additions to church music today.””
