Animal Farm "Battle of the Cowshed"

Music composed by Francis Logan, depicting the words and images from the painting and poem entitled "This Garden Song" by Mandy L Gero

"Arising Tones Resound,
The Holy Spirit's renown,
Flooded and soaked crowns,
Now illuminating these holy grounds,
Over, under, in and around,
Great joys of sound,
This garden song so profound,
Cascading and ascending.
Glories now surround, Dancing delightfully upon graces, That thankfully abound..."

Mandy l Gero, Abiding Perspectives
"The Garden, Our Path to End Our Inner Violence"

This Garden Song

Interpretation in music for electric violin of words and artwork by Mandy L. Gero

GUARDED GLORIES

Guardian by grace
Eternal your face,
Gentle this embrace,
Gardener and Keeper,
Only One who calls us deeper,.
Enclosed glories remarkably steeper,
Mysteries once cloaked,
Cannot be revoked
In the garden where God spoke

Guarded Glories

Musical interpretation of the art and poetry from Abiding Perspectives by Mandy L Gero.

Communion

A celebration in life,
The blood that ends all strife,
Meet waters of pure delight.
Enfolding the forgiven
Is Christ's sacred love,
Flourishing faithfully.
This joyous song,
Embracing us always.
Our salvation remains,
Our communion sustains
The graces that we contain!

Communion - A Celebration in Life

“This hill though high I covet ascend;
The difficulty will not me offend;
For I perceive the way of life lies here.
Come, pluck up, heart; let's neither faint nor fear. ”


― John Bunyan, The Pilgrim's Progress

Ascent

Music inspired by the poem by Christina Egan "Inside the Rainbow" 

Inside the rainbow
In the glimmer of the glass windows
In the waterfall of grace
In the antechamber of the sky

I saw you
I felt you
I held you
I recognized you

Composed for and performed on electric violin by Francis Logan
Inspired by the poem "Fake Smile" by Skye Edwards:

FAKE SMILE
The darkness, on the outside,
The outer darkness,
Appears and subsides
In the open wide, where it can breathe.
You find relief from time to time
When you focus on that one thing
That makes your heart sing.

But when it resides on the inside,
That inner darkness
That couldn't care less
If you're stressed and depressed
That sparkless darkness,
Claustrophobic blackness,
Parasitic, sadistic badness,
It is dangerous.

Hidden within
You're not foolin' anyone
With your fake smile and 
"I'm in a good place right now."

Fake Smile

For Suzanne

Composed for and performed on electric violin by Francis Logan

Depicts those times when life seems uncertain, confused and hopeless, and yet a glimmer of hope still burns, and there's an inner knowledge that a life full of meaning, love and peace is just within reach

Bittersweet

Composed and performed on 5 string electric violin
The violin sound , I feel, is the closest emulation of the human voice, especially when expressing deep emotion. I have achieved this by using various effects pedals, including the Boss Dynamic Wah AW-3

The ropes of death entangled me;
floods of destruction swept over me.
The grave[ wrapped its ropes around me;
death laid a trap in my path.
But in my distress I cried out to the Lord;
yes, I prayed to my God for help.
He heard me from his sanctuary;
my cry to him reached his ears.

Words from Psalm 18

The  Cry

A Lament for the Sorrowful

Composed for and performed on electric violin with an array of sound processors and pedals

While My Violin Gently Weeps

Composed on 5-string electric violin and keyboard. The meaning of the Hebrew word ruach is "breath," or "wind," or "spirit.Ruach Elohim is mentioned in the first few verses of Genesis to describe the Spirit of God hovering over the waters.
I was following somebody's footsteps to this place
A wind was blowing
And I thought I felt you touch my face
And I danced on my own
But I wasn't alone on the hillside
And I sang for the king
I could hear angels sing in the distance

What a mystery, what a mystery
What a mystery, Your love for me,
Your love for me

Francis Logan
