"I really love your arrangement and production and still can't get over what feels like a miracle in finding your website and having the opportunity to contribute a musical statement myself to your superb work. You also inspired me to look more into how I could learn how to create good music myself using the fine digital technologies available. Thank you!"

"One of the greatest joys of being a music teacher is that I get to do new music every year (year 32). When I heard your music this summer, I got so excited to come back to school. Your music has so much passion, energy, and beauty in it. .... [I] was blown away when I heard your music. Like a kid in a candy store, I bought 5 pieces that night."

"Thanks for your creative genius and attention to discipline and detail!...Absolutely Amazing! I am overwhelmed and overjoyed! Your parts, and how they are expressed have such precision and feeling!...The string track is magnifico! From its beginning to its ending, you did an excellent job of creating meaningful movements within the song."

"There was hardly a dry eye in the house as the audience connected with the piece in a way I have rarely experienced in concert before. I had one concert-goer approached me afterward and said she was crying by the third chord! At the conclusion, the audience leaped to their feet and gave a thunderous round of applause. I believe that was as much for you and your inspiration as for our performers, and that is why I wished to share this with you. Bravo, Maestro! And God Bless!"

"I came across your music through youtube and other sheet music websites. And I must say, I think your music, arrangements, and flexibility of instrumentation make you truly amazing. No one else does it like you!"

"I cannot thank you enough for your stunning arrangements. As soon as I heard it, it was a moment when I said to myself ‘I absolutely must have this, it’s incredible!’ and that does not happen very often. I realized I got completely lost in it for 2 hours!I am so gobsmacked I can only say thank you so much for your talent. I can’t wait to play this gorgeous music and I am looking forward to trying your other song arrangements and accompaniment music. I have become a huge fan."

Thank you SOOOOO much for writing amazing violin solos!!! You are one of the only composers who writes nice sounding challenging violin solos that can be used for special music at church. Please keep writing Christian violin solos and I will buy all of them!!! Also I LOVE your epic Christmas collection. I have already played those violin solos in church. Keep writing more!!!!

Thanks for your brilliant arrangements which has enthralled audiences all over, no less on our side of the world. We have performed a few of your compositions and the one that is always received best is the Amazing Grace arrangement for violin and orchestra. Your music conveys a spiritual quality that relates to human experience. it is palpable within the audience every time we play it. I admit I always look, and search for any new submissions from Matt Riley.
