Critical Acclaim:

In all the most important respects, Thea Musgrave's new opera is an emphatic success… some of the crowd scenes are superb musical theatre, most of all the one where John Brown is found missing… Miss Musgrave knows how to create real theatrical urgency; she is quite obviously a born dramatic composer.
— Stanley Sadie, Musical Times
