AllMusic‘s Keith Finke gives a four-star review to the University of Texas Wind Ensemble and Jerry Junkin’s Migration recording:
“[Adam] does well in conveying his program (Migration), particularly in the “Dreaming” movement and the rhythmic propulsion and tension found in “Escape.” Many of the solo passages and harmonies push the players right to the edge of their abilities.… [Craig] Davis’ [Corigliano Concerto for Clarinet] transcription rightly honors the composer’s original vision by retaining the violin; [Clarinetist Jonathan] Gunn is joined by violinist Brian Lewis, and the pair play splendidly together. Jennifer Jolley’s The Eyes of the World Are Upon You… is fittingly heavy considering…with sudden blaring ensemble sounds and a haunting siren call throughout… Stephen Montague’s Intrada 1631… is an apt bookend for the Migration theme. As is often encountered in music written for wind ensemble, the works here explore and expand the tonalities and timbres that can be created from these instrumental forces. A welcome addition to the recorded wind ensemble repertoire and a fine performance from Junkin and his UT Wind Ensemble.”
