I composed this short work probably 7 years ago. In case you are wondering, " What the heck is a glass armonica?" CLICK HERE and find out. You'll be amazed to know that our own Benjamin Franklin is the inventor or this unusual instrument.

ASH WEDNESDAY THOUGHT, 2008
The season of Lent has arrived and once again I am aware of man's insignificance. But a passing shadow, we humans come and go - and are gone. On this brevity of existence (which we will all feel sooner or later) is a composition of mine based on. It is an orchestral meditation of sorts for organ, glass armonica and orchestra. The title is: O HOW SHORT THIS LIFE DOTH SEEM. (click on the link to hear it)
