"Steve Butler is the kind of composer that someday you'll
say you knew. He has the creative potential to become a force
to reckon with in the compositional world. That Westmont students
have the privilege of working with him is incredible!"  "Steve Butler's music is highly intelligent, focused,
and energetic. It embodies an accomplished sound that surrounds
and envelopes the ear." "Steve Butler has a very modern ear, not at all enslaved
to traditional harmonies and yet especially at ease in contrapuntal
arrangements that have all sorts of historical resonances. He
possesses a command of musical voices ranging from Gilbert and
Sullivan to jazz to modern polytonality to simple, lyrical melody,
and he has mastered the art of building and altering sounds electronically.
His music reflects his personal combination of joy and discipline."
