Stock: A Little Miracle / Yizkor / Tekiah / Y'rusha

"Stock's preternaturally youthful music is simple and accessible without pandering too much to its audience; this is the sort of music I'd feel good about giving to my less musically sophisticated relatives, who would get all the musical references and maybe even be able to talk about the clear, neoclassical structures. As a composer, Stock has the clarity (but not the austerity) of a latter-day minimalist like Part and Adams together, and the heart of a Joe Sixpackstein; there's no fancy stuff, no hamhanded sophistication and pretentions, to get in the way of the music's simple expression."
