Other compositions on the recording include a work for solo harp, two works for Native American flute; a work for solo piano; and a choral work. Petterson is a professor and former department chair at the University of Massachusetts Boston. He was the recipient of a Fulbright Scholars Award and the Chancellors Distinguished Teaching Award. A student of Nadia Boulanger and Olivier Messiaen in Paris, he received his PhD from Harvard. His music appears on the Vienna Modern Masters and Albany Records labels.

Reviews
- “
"David Patterson is not new to these pages Like the CD I reviewed in that issue [37:2], the present release focuses on a broad range of genres from solo piano to native American flute to chorus I found this varied program enjoyable throughout its course, given the skill of both composer and performers in its presentation, and accordingly recommend it warmly."
