St. Michael. Par BOURGEOIS LOUIS. The French composer Louis Bourgeois lived from c. 1510 to 1560. Bourgeois was cantor in Geneva and, commissioned by John Calvin, he composed melodies for metrical (rhyming) versions of the psalms.

The band takes up this theme and then takes centre stage with a passionate repeat …

Par SPARKE PHILIP. Out of the Darkness, Into the Light is about optimism.

For some, faith and religion may be the answer, but this piece is more about the internal strength that we…
