"... a splendid post-minimalist movement for winds, piano, bass and percussion. Two attractive and infectious melodies flow out of its rhythmically charged accompaniment, including a buoyant second theme first stated by the bassoon. For all its minimalist trappings and accompaniment, the work contained expressive color and deftly used dynamics, all within a comprehensible structure that approximated sonata form." —Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

[Rhythms and Rituals] has [Galbraith's] characteristic clarity, precision, proportion and charm." —Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
