I’ve just released a new movement from my Mass No. 2: 🎶 “Quoniam Tu Solus” (Gloria) This section focuses on the powerful declaration:“You alone are the Holy One. You alone are the Lord.” After Jesu Christe, I introduce “Laudamus Te” as a kind of choral response — a moment of collective praise before the concluding Cum Sancto Spiritu (set as a separate movement). Written in E♭ minor, this music is intended both for liturgical use and concert performance, and may also be sung a cappella. If this speaks to you, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.Please feel free to share with anyone who loves sacred choral music. “Quoniam Tu Solus” from my Mass No. 2 — a Gloria movement centred on the words “You alone are the Lord.” Dark, intense, and ultimately an act of praise, with “Laudamus Te” returning as a choral response. 🎧 Listen here:https://youtu.be/vmXqhi1uNUs

This piece has taken much sweat and frustration and four goes but I've finished this Laudamus Te! What do you think? I think its a bit like a spicy pizza and was worth the stress. As a creative have you experienced this kind of hard work to get something different created? Please can subscribe to my YouTube channel. Thx

I'm delighted to share that I received A SPECIAL FEATURED ARTIST of DISTINCTION AWARD and several smaller features for my piece, 'Pink and Orange Sunset' on Fine Art America. It's a nice honor to be recognized for artwork that captures a sense of hope, healing, optimism and serenity. This hand-painted digital piece was created using Adobe Photoshop and features an oversized whimsical moon set in a gently swirling pink and orange sky at dusk. Hovering above a quiet, serene landscape of silhouetted trees and a church glowing with warm light, it symbolizes spiritual enlightenment, renewal, and rebirth. The moon reflects the light of the sun, much like humanity is thought to reflect the Glory of God, illuminating the night by providing a beacon of Light in darkness and protection in times of uncertainty.

Today in church I had these thoughts: One of the people closest to Jesus at the cross wasn’t a priest, a disciple, or a good man. He was a criminal. Publicly condemned. Guilty. Dying for what he’d done. This wasn’t someone who’d “mostly lived well”. He was at the bottom — exposed, ashamed, written off. He knew it too. He doesn’t defend himself. He doesn’t blame his upbringing. He doesn’t argue his case. He simply turns to Jesus and says: “Remember me.” In other words: “I don’t deserve mercy… but if there’s even the smallest chance, I’m asking.” And Jesus replies: “Today you will be with me.” That should stop us in our tracks. Jesus didn’t save him because he was good. He didn’t save him because he had potential. He saved him because he told the truth. The criminal didn’t climb his way up. He was saved at the very bottom. So if you’ve ever felt: you’ve gone too far you’ve ruined too much you’re beyond help or it’s too late for you The cross says otherwise. Grace is not fragile. Mercy is not reluctant. And Jesus does not wait for sinners to improve before He welcomes them. Sometimes faith sounds like this: “Lord… remember me.” And Jesus is more willing to save than we are to ask.
