There is little doubt that Jackson's work is a significant addition to the sacred choral repertoire.
A 10-piece ensemble, dominated by the glitter of harp, percussion and high woodwind, gives the work its dramatic scope, by turns taut and lean and then thickly spread, rich with melodic embroidery. The arresting opening - a saxophone erupting suddenly out of low instrumental rumbling into an ecstatic, primal arabesque of sound, like a latter-day Rite of Spring - sets the tone for a work whose chant-inflected lines and modal tonality speak directly and unaffectedly . . . It all adds up to an effective, emotionally charged contemporary Passion . . .
Jackson's music is gripping: often appropriately stark and graphic, there are also moments of great beauty, such as the soprano solo in the Anointing at Bethany sections . . . Eliot's words and Jackson's music combined to offer hope and a positive outlook. The music became ever more radiant, offering balm and reassurance after the events previously depicted . . . The standing ovation indicated that I was far from alone in being impressed and moved by this score. It's an important, eloquent work and I'm impatient to hear it again.
I had access to the score and libretto in advance of the performance and I thought the libretto worked extremely well on paper. However, when heard in performance it works brilliantly . . . Jackson's music gripped me from start to finish. The scoring for the instrumental ensemble is expertly judged. The choice of instruments enables the composer to exploit a range of piquant colouring possibilities and the use of the instruments is often imaginatively spare and always telling. There are moments of beauty . . . Both the choral writing and, even more so, the spare accompaniment displayed great economy of means but it was very powerful and effective . . . I was thrilled and moved by this score and the performance which it received . . . Jackson's score is important and eloquent and I am impatient to hear it again.
Gabriel Jackson is, of course, an already established composer and further performances in the UK of this recently published Passion will be richly deserved. It is a work that brilliantly provides an illuminating alternative to traditional Passion settings and should attract the attention of enterprising choirs willing to explore a contemporary and intelligently conceived score.
The vocal lines are challenging, requiring accomplished singers able to negotiate both chromatic melodies and complex rhythms . . . The work is bold in both text and music, and it succeeds in its immediacy. The final section, setting the last portion of T. S. Eliot's Little Gidding, completes the work with sublime beauty.

One of Britain's foremost composers, after three years as a chorister at Canterbury Cathedral, Gabriel Jackson went on to study composition with Richard Blackford and John Lambert at the Royal College of Music. Particularly acclaimed for his choral works, his liturgical pieces are in the repertoires of most of Britain's cathedral and collegiate choirs and he is a frequent collaborator with the leading professional groups of the world. From 2010-2013 he was Associate Composer to the BBC Singers. In 2014 his hour-long The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, commissioned for the 750th anniversary of Merton College, Oxford, was premiered in its chapel. May 2015 saw the premiere at the Latvian National Opera of Spring Rounds for soprano, choir and orchestra, commissioned by the Riga-based youth choir Kamer for their 25th anniversary. He was recently commissioned by The Marian Consort to write Stabat Mater to mark their 10th anniversary.
