"gentle dissonance; very beautiful"—Rev. Anthony Ruff, O.S.B., Saint John's Abbey (Collegeville, MN)  7/6/2011

"Your settings certainly are very beautiful indeed! The choral writing is most skillful, and the result is rich and sonorous.

...The unison arrangements, in particular, the Glory to God also seem quite accessible for congregational singing.

...The unison congregational part is certainly doable nearly anywhere."  —Andrew Bauer, Director of Music, Monastery Church of the Sacred Heart (Yonkers, NY)  6/24/2011

re: Lauda Sion

"We made room for an abridged version of the sequence, in the form of Chris Mueller’s very fine harmonised chant setting for six-part choir of the final verses, which we preceded with the opening lines of St Thomas Aquinas’s original chant. The music of Mueller (who is director of music at the church of Notre Dame in Morningside Heights, Manhattan, New York) is a pleasing internet ‘find’, and I’m glad that there’s more to explore."  —Martin Barry, Director of Music, St. John's Cathedral (Salford, UK)  6/26/2011

"beautiful"  —Jeffrey Tucker, Church Music Association of America  5/24/2011

"Really beautiful…gorgeous…ridiculously beautiful...

Here we have a very gifted composer (who should be more famous, by the way) marrying his craft to the needs of the liturgy and, more, to what I can only assume is his very deeply held personal faith.

I’d like to extend my gratitude to Chris Mueller both for writing this setting and for asking me to review it. It was a pleasure."  —Adam Wood, Music For Sunday blog  5/24/2011

"I can't stop listening to the Sanctus, it is exceptionally well-crafted, beautiful with dignity; it lifts the mind and heart, I want to sing this…"  —David A. Domet, Vox Cantoris blog (Toronto)  5/11/2011
