Sometime during the year 2000 when many people was afraid that a computer virus was going to end the world economy, a former friend ask me to house sit for him. While I was there, a new tune started to develop in my mind. This new melody constantly played in my subconscious over and over again and as I began to develop and polish the composition, the title of the story of king Belshazzar from the 6th century BC kept flashing through my mind; thus"The Writing On The Wall" would take on as the theme for the entire project.It was around that time that a similar situation developed and I composed"A Prayer for Jerusalem." This song turned out to be one of my most powerful and emotionally intense compositions; it includes two fantastic violinist, Kin Na Yong (South Korea) and Lorin Friesen (Abbotsford B.C.). Lorin, is included on two other compositions in the project.The overall mood on of the project is on the easy listening side, but all of the music is instrumental and based on true stories.
