The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek states "The piece is not the careening, chaotic, free for all one might expect. There is a dynamic and dramatic control Taylor has over the entire ensemble... This music is moving, full of pathos and emotion, but also nuance and figurative speech in both voice and instrumental utterance... What a treat".[3]

gollark: It was trivial via rayon and the fact that subexpressions don't depend on each other.
gollark: (although that only becomes obvious when it gets stuck in horrible infinite loops due to misprogrammed rules)
gollark: (it actually does run expression simplification in parallel, which is neat)
gollark: Rust, so it can concur fearlessly.
gollark: It's very WIP.
