He came to Brazil in 1956 and spent half of his life in Salvador. He was a member of the Brazilian Academy of Music. He was master of three generations of conductors and composers in Brazil. Psalm 150 is a contemporary piece with rhythmic, harmonic and contrapuntal challenges. With its sounds of bells, trumpets, strings, flutes and timpani, describes the Psalm and ends with a Hallelujah in the form of liturgical dance that grows up to the grand finale.  less

All God's works do praise him, as the beautiful building praises the builder or the well-drawn picture praises the painter; but the saints bless him as the children of prudent tender parents rise up and call them blessed. Of all God's works, his saints, the workmanship of his grace, the first-fruits of his creatures, have most reason to bless him. - The Musikteers Ensemble Gh @HARMONIOUS CHORALE GHANA @The Symphonials - Ghana @The Sixteen @The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square @The Gesualdo Six @VOCES8 @Hope Channel Ghana @ONE VOICE CHOIR GHANA @GH Choral Music @VocalEssence Chorale @VocalEssence @His Voice GH  less
