„Since years Colin Mawby composes works which are easy to practise, beautiful sounding, effective and in addition feasible for smaller, less powerful church choirs. His playing with the change of liturgical homophony up to magnifically developing majestic polyphony is one of the main reasons for the lasting success of this music. It is transferring in a very easy and unpretentious way what church music is all about: To lift up the hearts to God. [...] The conclusion: Buy it, practise it and sing in prayers!“
[Barbara Stühlmeyer

„All of Colin Mawby’s pieces published so far reflect the composer’s mastery of the ability to write musically sophisticated works which can be performed by ‚normal’ choirs. Excellent service music for directors, singers and listeners!“
[in: Kirchenmusik im Bistum Trier 01/2007]
", "„The works by Mawby which Butz has kindly published enrich the repertoire. They are not difficult, are at a helpful pitch, are easily performed by choir and organ, and are written in a friendly, moderate, modern idiom. They represent the typically effective English church music with its own serious aesthetics.“
[Gabriel Dessauer

„A refreshing generosity is characteristical for Mawby's works. Very good liturgical customary music which brings change into the repertoire of ambitious church choirs. Scores and clear layout are pleasing performer, conductor and the choir.“
[Kirchenmusik im Bistum Mainz 12/2007]
", "„Butz got with Colin Mawby a very experienced English composer ‚on board’. His music stands for good quality in clear and never boring harmony, in vocal range as well as rhythmically well to perform.“
