Reviews: “a substantial work, original and distinctive in style….Would-be publishers take note. This is something special.” Paul Hollinger. Appleton Post-Cresecent. 4/28/87
“a well-spun, coloristic work…” Boris Nelson. Toledo Blade. 1/16/89
“the most impressive voice was that of Chicago-born Marilyn Shrude….Her Passage of Years (1987) is full of bright, shimmering sounds, keenly imagined and freshly argued. She is a composer to watch.” John von Rhein. Chicago Tribune. 4/28/90
