Estilo musical
editarSus obras corales, especialmente para coro a capella, están repletas de armonías ricas y coloridas, que dan sensación de movimiento gracias a las líneas vocales que se mueven individualmente y en registros cercanos. Sus obras sinfónicas poseen una brillante y luminosa orquestación, con un claro sentido melódico, fruto de su experiencia como compositor y orquestador en Hollywood.
