Amen, Rest in peace, brother Dave.

Well, Salvation, while we Drum Corps people have your thread hijacked, I might as well say that my alma mater Spirit of Atlanta has always used as an on-field warmup a piece called Salvation is Created.

I always thought it was a Bach Chorale, but it was actually written by a Russian named Pavel Tchesnokov. Our arrangement was by the late Jim Ott.

Kinda brought the topic back to Religion...

Thanks for that link. It is a much better quality video of the quartet than the ones on YouTube.

‘Upon this rock I will build my Church and the jaws of hell cannot prevail against it.’

Apparently his inspiration for his "Upon this Rock". Emphasis added.

Curious, I never read that particular translation. Anyone know which one it is? I always thought that was translated as "gates".

I originally heard about Art from Harry as well.

Thanks for the thread, and thanks to all on the thread for the cool links.

Connelly is terrific.I’ve read all of his books.

Last week I read his latest and John Sandford’s latest.

A great reading week.
