Arrangement Reviews
A superbly simple arrangement - the art that conceals art. (A Bunch of Thyme)
Michael Brewer (Director of National Youth Choir)
Congratulations to Michael Neaum on his fine arrangements.
Iain Burnside (Presenter on TV and radio, musicologist, journalist and critic)
A beautiful arrangement which will add a touch of magic to any Christmas programme.
(Sweet Little Jesus Boy)
BFYC Newsletter
Effective, yet not too complicated... A great arrangement, which would enhance any choir's repertoire.
(I Once Loved A Lad)
BFYC Newsletter
Rhythmical, jazzy and extremely effective. (Virgin Mary Had A Little Baby & Ding Dong Merrily On High)
Organists' Review
Particularly effective are Neaum's folk-song settings, which at their best have a Grainger-esque
quality.John's Gone To Hilo is typical of his best work, with its adroit manipulation of vocal
combinations. Neaum is always aware of the need to create variety....

The Water Of Tyne is a sublime arrangement. With the rippling waters of the accompaniment and the
wonderfully rich harmonisation and part writing, there is no better way of expressing the mood of this
beautiful folk-song. This is clearly not a one-off either. Many of Neaum's other arrangements are equally
successful, so strong in their mood and spirit and showing a wonderful understanding of the singing
voice. A Mexican Lullaby sets a beautiful melody. In Neaum's inimitable style, what begins so simply
grows in character and beauty... All in all this is a stunning arrangement, not too difficult to sing, but
undoubtedly effective. Not to be missed.
Indian Love Song is a most effective piece, gentle, warm, simple and romantic; it could add an inspired
moment to any concert programme.
I have no hesitation in recommending 2 American Folk Songs to you. They complement each other well
and will bring undoubted pleasure to anyone who meets with them. I Wish I Was A Child Again is full of
yearning and Sourwood Mountain is full of life, energy and humour. I have no doubt that it will put
areal smile on the faces of the singers.(from an article by George Adamson in Music Teacher,2001)
The choristers in my choir just LOVE your arrangements.
Madeleine Humer (Victoria Children’s Choir)
My Women’s choir, el Canto, adores If We Were in Love and begs to sing it; it is really lovely. The voice
leading is so kind to the young women’s instrument.
Your arrangement is beautiful – all day I have been leaving my work and returning to the piano to go
over it again and again….. each time I find it pleases me more. It is so sensitive and to the character of
the song and so lovely to sing. The girls will be thrilled. We feel so fortunate to have someone like you
writing for us.
Elaine Quilichini (Calgary Girls Choir)
We performed Last Rose of Summer last week and it was so gorgeous; everyone loved it!
