"I've said it before [...],
and I'll say it again: When my days on this blue planet are
up and I'm ready to be planted, it will just fine if Measure
for Measure sings while the planting service takes place.
Based in Ann Arbor and under the superb direction of Dr. Leonard
Riccinto, this male chorus just keeps getting better and better
every year. Their gorgeous sound has a depth to it that the
college men's glee club seem to lack -- something to do with
years and wisdom on the part of the singers?" - Jeannette
Luton-Faber, Current Magazine
"Clear diction,
lovely phrasing, and flawless pitch were characteristics of
the choir in all the selections. The even distribution of
first and second tenor, baritone and bass voices resulted
in an unusually fine balance. Another asset was the choir’s
ability to contrast soft passages with strong crescendos.
The harmonious blend of men’s voices in such an outstanding
choir is a rare treat for music lovers" - The
Stratford, Ontario, Beacon Herald
" . . . the big, full sound of Measure For Measure and
the precision of their canonic entries left no doubt that
this is a choir to be reckoned with. . . . Modern voicings,
tight tone clusters, a perfect a cappella section and a rhapsodic
accompaniment, with razor-edge intonation and interpretation
- it was a flawless performance . ." - The Kitchener,
Ontario, Record
" What was, at first, an opportunity for men to perform
music composed and arranged for male chorus has grown into
a fine regional ensemble that is winning acclaim wherever
it goes." - The Ann Arbor News
" This versatile ensemble is equally at home performing
works as sacred as Beethoven's 'Hallelujah' and a combined
setting of the 'Ave Maria' to the delightful ditty 'Whistle,
Maggie Whistle.' The former sent chills down nearly everyone's
spine, while the latter was a hilarious battle pitting the
basses and baritones against the tenors." - The
Battle Creek Enquirer
" The drama, the power, the camaraderie, the sonority,
and - yes - the humor combined to give all of us a memorable,
entertaining experience" - Milton Olsson, President,
ACDA
" . . . a thrilling performance, beautifully sung with
incredible control . . ." - Bruce Trinkley, Dir.,
Penn State Glee Club
" . . . superb performance. 'Excellence' describes your
choir's concert in Detroit." - Thomas Stauch,
Division President, ACDA
" Thank you for the beauty of your music, which was alternatively
powerful, joyous, reflective and haunting." - Kristy
Meretta, Eastern Michigan University
" I am inspired. I am so totally inspired." - 9th
grade boy, Oakland Singers
