    Francis, I LOVE IT! This is a work worthy of the noble key of D Major: very bright, splendid, elevating. I especially love the Altissimus.

    Hi Dr. K... Glad you like it. Now I just need a choir capable of doing this one.

    I like it. Good luck finding suitably barnstorming basses who can manage the sixteenth-note runs!

    Is the organ part meant to be for rehearsals only?

    Yea, I know. barnstormers are tough to find. Yes, it is for rehearsal only. Where are you located RJ?

    No, no DM position; for most of the last eight years I have been one of the organists at the Catholic parish of St. Aloysius in the Melbourne suburb of Caulfield, though I have now ceased that.

    Good to meet your acquaintance. Do clue us into your compositions from time to time. We are always anxious to hear new works!

    Well, thank you sir; hmmmm, probably my music would be insufficiently plainchant-oriented for most people on this site, but what the hey, this little effort of mine was published some years back:

    I like plainchant, but my ears do get tired of a steady diet of it. My congregation also reaches a point where it wants to hear something else. It is good to have well-written music that isn't plainchant. Thanks for posting your composition.

    Many thanks, CharlesW! Well, of course it's not the whole composition, just the first part of it, which is available online. (People have to pay money to get the rest of the composition.)

    Found the website easily. Also listened to one of the organ recordings. Nice instrument. I am envious.
