Artist picture
My Phantom Digital Orchestra lives in my computer and I am (on a good day) composer-in-residence, just a servant of the Muse...
I write symphonic, small ensemble and choral music, in multiple styles from medieval through modern classical. The music you hear on my pages is created with Finale notation software and Garritan Personal Orchestra sound samples. All pieces have a traditional score associated with them; if you are interested in any piece for possible performance, please contact me for details on scoring, instrumentation, pricing, etc. Recent Concert: I enjoy many kinds of music for listening - rock, pop, jazz, world, and classical of all periods. I am interested also in the fusion of art, poetry, dance, video, and ritual with music, music as a healing force and have been a music volunteer in the hospice setting.

Story behind the song
God is having a conversation with Satan. He points out Job, what a good and righteous man he is. Oh sure, says Satan, of course he honors you -- look at all you have given him. But take away those things, and you will see, he will curse you. So God enters into this wager with Satan and tells Satan to do whatever he wants with Job and we'll see who is right. Thus God and Satan play with Job's life as casually as playing a game of dice.
Lyrics
Oh that the Lord would hear me and grant my request: That it would please Him to crush me -- let loose His mightly hand and cut me down. One thing alone consoles me, one thing alone: Even in pain unending I have not denied the word of the Holy One. What is my strength, that I should wait? What is my ending, ending? Oh that the Lord would hear me and grant my request: That it would please Him to crush me -- let loose His mightly hand and ... cut ... me ... down.
