"A treat. This is a lovely melodic and accessible work, and Lindberg and his orchestra made the most of it."
—Judy Gruber
The Washington Post

"Only a curmudgeon would fail to appreciate the charm and understatement of Jack Gallagher's Berceuse, with its hints of Barber's melancholy lyricism."
—Art Lange
Fanfare

"Features string writing that has an English pastoral feel, a bit like Ralph Vaughan Williams in its dawnlike evocations."
—Elaine Guregian
Akron Beacon Journal

"Exactly what a lullaby should be -- a simple, lyrical melody, a rocking rhythm, and nothing harsh . . . It is spontaneous . . . music of genuine merit."
