"Denice Rippentrop continues to capture the spirit with her 'God's Promises' Choral Series. These new works are accessible to any choir large or small. Singers and conductors alike will enjoy the unique and powerful anthems! Denice has such a wonderful soul that is expressed so emphatically through her sacred choral music."

Darin Reed, Director of Music, North Scottsdale United Methodist Church, Scottsdale, AZ

"Denice Rippentrop's choral work, "Is Not This Salvation Too Great to
Ignore?" is bathed in luxurious harmony - mellifluous, melodic, and most of all, soulful - well worth the effort"
Dr. Peter Hendrickson, Conductor of the Masterworks Chorale of
Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minnesota

"Singing Landscape of My Soul was a dramatically exquisite
journey!"

Dr. Stephen McKersie, Conductor, The Festival Singers, San Francisco, CA

"It is in These Wounds" was commissioned by the Arizona Arts Chorale in
Scottsdale, Arizona with intentions to perform this acappella work on
September 11. The text, written by composer, Denice Rippentropp, is a
prayerful healing statement for the whole world to hear. Set to an 8 part
satb choral style, the piece begins soulfully with independent lines,
culminating in a rhythmically charged middle section, culminating with loud interruptions of "terror" , then settling into a unison 3 octave chord, "In Strength I Live". It will be a steady part of our future repertoire, though challenging to learn, very rewarding to perform.
Carolyn Eynon, Artistic Director, Arizona Arts Chorale

"Constant Strength" gave our singers expressive opportunities for warmth, richness, and a sense of quiet urgency.
"Aaronic Blessing" -- This is a fresh setting of a well-known text; we're
delighted to have added it to our repertoire, and we expect it to be a staple
for many years.
William Mathis, Minister of Music and Fine Arts, Hennepin Ave United

Methodist Church Minneapolis

"Ms. Rippentrop's music is very lyrical as well as tonal. Her music has a fresh sound and immediate appeal. The music has the kind of substance that makes it easy to live with over a long period of time."

'Our high school girls enjoyed performing WHAT CAN HEAVENLY LOVE DO? For festival competition this year."

"Ms. Rippentrop's music has a different choral sound. Her music is very singable, extremely moving and will basically climax to a worshipful

experience for the listener."

David Deeg, signal Mountain Presbyterian Church, Signal Mountain, Tenn.

"In a time when it is extremely difficult to find quality choral music for the female ensemble, it is refreshing to discover music of the quality that Ms' Rippentrop is composing and publishing. Ms. Rippentrop's creative

approach to the female ensemble sound by the use of diverse instruments that add to the unique timbres and colors are most exciting."

Terry Fletcher, Hinds Community College, Raymond, Miss.

"One of the most effective pieces on our tour this spring was CHRIST, WE PRAY. People were spellbound!"

Peter Hendrickson, Augsburg College, Minneapolis, Minn.
