“Lucas Floyd’s . . . understated quality belies an assured technique and confident voice.
”
“Floyd is one of the new composers capable of finding new veins to mine in that ‘mother lode’ of the ‘basics.’”
“His music, very ambitious in its scope, variety, and forces required, is at once greatly enjoyed by audiences and respected by his peers.”
“Lucas’ music is fluid, finely crafted, and thought-provoking, and beyond this, it veritably ‘gushes’ out of him”
