Writes renowned composer Ben Steinberg: “A remarkable collection, chronicling the professional life and interests of one of our most prolific composers. The settings are accessible, well-written, useful and should be widely welcomed. Like many another composer, Isaacson often marks the important events of his life - his marriage, the births of his children - by commemorating them with creative works. As a result, many of the pieces in this collection offer genuinely touching moments, as well as the practicality one would expect from this fine professional composer. May his music resonate for years to come in the communities of our people.”
