Reviews
"Golightly possesses a distinctive musical voice"
Adrian Smith.

"It could well be that Golightly will come to be regarded as an English Shostakovich;there are numerous stylistic similarities to the Russian model:those driving motor rhythms and characteristic, slender wisps of solo themes;and above all the relentless on going energy, so often dark toned and uncompromising."
Arthur Butterworth

The great Russian composer, Mussorgsky, said, "Of greatest importance for a composer in creating music is the search for truth". It is this truth we hear when we perform David Golightly's music.
Alexander Govorov Conductor of the Soglasie Male Voice Choir of St Petersburg

Golightly's symphony is a big, ostinato-driven, muscular piece, tonal and constructed out of the musical equivalent of big, solid blocks, or painted in broad brush-strokes of primary colours. The symphony is one of those big-boned, tonal, neo-romantic pieces which can be relied upon to get the blood pumping a little faster. The Seascapes are appealing orchestral fantasias in familiar style, also bold and colourful.
Reviewer Jeff Joneikis Records International

Some 45 minutes long, the Symphony is very accessible in idiom, a "Classic FM work",no more "difficult" than say George Lloyd or William Alwyn (Golightly, like Alwyn, has composed film music), with traces of Shostakovich;s influence. The filler is attractive, too: a lightish suite, each movement based on a different sea-shanty: Fire Down Below, Shenandoah and Rio Grande
