“Gardner Read was a consummate musician. When he composed something he knew, before it was played, exactly how it would sound. His expert knowledge of the orchestra, of the sound potential of each instrument, and the myriad tone colors resulting from combinations of instruments, was the result of a lifetime of listening and studying scores. He took pride in the craft of composing: his legacy of compositions and books reflects the value he placed on that craft.” Janet Packer
