The good reviews are in for Zachary's Carnegie Hall debut with NOTUS: Indiana University's Contemporary Vocal Ensemble. Writing for Sequenza21, Knox Sutterfield calls Zachary's To the Roaring Wind "a highly evocative setting. ... The piece has a directness—almost inevitability—to its linear development, but it is well paced in a way that makes its destination immensely rewarding." Writing for New York Concert Review, Jeffrey Williams calls Zachary's composition a "dramatic and highly effective work that should find a place in the a cappella repertoire."

Zachary's Gabriel's Message, has been included on another new CD from the National Lutheran Choir. This beautiful recording, entitled Emmanuel, includes seasonal favourites by a wide variety of composers, and it can be ordered here.

Zachary's arrangement of the classic carol, Gabriel's Message, has been released on a new CD from the American Composers Forum's Innova Recordings, featuring The Crossing, Philadelphia's premier vocal ensemble. Also featuring organist Scott Dettra, the CD, Christmas Daybreak, can be purchased through iTunes or Amazon.
