Mike is a classical violinist who has expertise to

'cross the divide' and play folk and world music.

He is a member of the New English Orchestra which

is a Christian based orchestra drawing players from

both Protestant and Catholic traditions.

Breath of God

This album was inspired by the works

of Abbess Hildegard of Bingen, 1098 - 1179.

She was one of the best known religious

figures of the Middle Ages. A visionary,

poet and composer, she inspired popes, bishops, clergy and laity becoming a leading religious and political figure in her time. The songs and music

on this CD are Composed by Meg and written

over a long period, reflecting Meg's spiritual

journey to the present time.

Breath of God

2004 - 2005

A FREE CONCERT FOR YOUR PARISH

Meg and Mike are giving a series of concerts of their sacred music, as featured on their latest CD,

'Breath of God'.

Whilst there is no charge for the concert, a collection is requested towards the P.A. hire and travel.

Song competition for the Papal year of Redemption.

Mike and Meg represented the UK

having had their song selected

as a winning entry. In November 1983,

they set off for Vatican City where

they joined a host of other song writers from all corners of the world. It was a wonderful experience culminating

in a performance for Pope John Paul and

a private Mass and blessing

brought the week to a conclusion

Sample of Tracks

Track 1. Meg's Song "Feather on the breath of God" was inspired by another composition from Hildegard, the music and lyrics are by Meg.

Track 9 "You knew me"

Track 11 "He is God"

Track 12 "Sou Gan"

The "Perfume Makers" (perfume is a metaphor of Divine Grace) are the clerics of Trier; Maximinus was the patron of the

Benedictine abbey there and Hildegard probably wrote this poem for them. The imagery and general conception owes much to

Ecclesiasticus 50,v 1-26, a celebration of the High Priest Simon. The Holy Spirit hovers symbolised by the dove

and the lattice. Hildegard explains the latter symbol as the window of Christ's mercy through which shines the perfect revelation

of the New Testament.

Dennis Wrigley

(Maranatha Community)

"This album is clearly one of the most outstanding in recent years.

The combination of words and music is profoundly moving and will draw the listener into the heart of God.

Many will be inspired by the duo, whose brilliance shine out of each track"
