The sequence of performances of Lauds began, as is usual in this series, in a private home, Saturday, continued Sunday afternoon at the Biltmore Hotel and concludes tonight in Westwood. The work emerged serious and virtuosic, yet lighthearted. The young composer, present on Sunday, describes the musical scenario as a metamorphosis from darkness into light, which may overstate the case; the journey actually goes the short distance from sobriety to joy. The trip is convincing and compelling, the style pungently tonal, the writing transparent and idiomatic. DANIEL CARIAGA | LOS ANGELES TIMES
