"The beauty of Patricia's music is in the atmosphere it creates; wherever we perform it around the World it is universally well-received - and as with all good music it breaks down the barriers of language and culture, communicating on a higher level."

"What I love about [Patricia Van Ness's] music is that it manages to be simultaneously passionate, sensual, and ethereal. It is timeless. You can’t fight it or rush it. Rather, you need to give it space and let it unfold, enveloping you in a lush soundscape of warmth, anguish, and beauty. Even the solo a cappella chants in both works draw you in and give comfort, no matter that one is spiritual and the other erotic. In Patty’s world, there is very little difference between the two."

"Both compositions on this album, Requiem and The Voice of the Tenth Muse, use elements from the medieval and Renaissance musical eras, and attempt to produce the beauty I’ve described. Composing music for these timeless texts gave me the opportunity to continue my ongoing exploration into my concepts of the nature of the Divine, and substantiated my belief that beauty and Divine Love are one."
