Testimonials

Diane receives a copy of Psalm 95 from Geneva College President Calvin L. Troup and Dr. David K. Smith in Grand Rapids, Mich.

"I am absolutely thrilled with the two compositions which were recently commissioned from Diane Whitacre. The first, a composition for flute, piano, and narrator, is based upon the poem Casey At The Bat. The writing is wonderful and flows with witty twists and turns, delighting both performers and listeners.

The second composition, A Shoemaker's Dream for flute, guitar/harp and narrator, is destined to become a major work in the flute and guitar/harp literature. Diane is certainly in her element-- with such freeflowing imagination, full of rhythmic appeal, these pieces showcase her extremely gifted and compositional talents."
