““Mr. Pew is a very talented composer whose experience and artistic maturity demonstrate that he will enjoy a long career and, therefore, is deserving of genuine support. I can confirm that his talent, work, and humility, are of the highest quality.””

““In Douglas Pew we have a fresh new voice in contemporary sacred music. His craftsmanship in the art of composition is readily demonstrated in his outstanding cantata “The Good Shepherd”. In this cantata we hear his superb work in the writing of hymns, solo arias, and choruses. His writing for voices and instruments is filled with sensitivity and beauty, always complementing the spirit of the text. We have much to look forward to in the future compositional output of this exciting new American composer.””

““Doug’s sacred music is deeply spiritual. It arises not simply from a composer’s desire to express themselves, but from a more profound need to express truth. It walks the fine, beautiful line between the perfection of the divine and the limits of human spirituality to that magical point where the veil between them grows thin. Performing Doug’s sacred music is exercise for the heart and a feast for the soul.””

““The hymn writing of Douglas Pew shows a great attention to the text and the way in which music declares the power and meaning of those words. Melodies are tuneful and accessible while at the same time displaying a strongly crafted musical style.” ”
