Faith Melody (Volume I)

The musical compositions as a volume is "Faith Melody", as it explains about man's inner voice, striving for constancy and believing in his ideals as expressed in the longing for his God. Through music, founded is the core significance of the soul's expression embracing the harmony of the entirety of life, drawn into by the bewilderment of men and the omnipotence of God- music sets life to its art's fullness, of rules or of nothingness, in its ultimate role to define, to add colors, to give more meanings to life's seemingly unknowable purpose: only to be purposive, consequently. Volume I includes 62 of the musical compositions (52 responsorial psalms and 10 other religious musical compositions) among the many that will soon follow. Nevertheless, all are a self-fulfilling expression of man's musicality and religiosity- at one voice: to establish a lasting relationship with the Divine. Subsequent publications may consider more than what has been illustrated, if not an edition to include all. On the other hand, the Book of Psalms is an everlasting tribute of man to God, of Solomon's struggle to herald his faith before personal and communal tribulations, only to be unexpectedly chosen to set forth God's wisdom into everyone. With God's wisdom, St. Augustine shares a beautiful truth- that singing is praying twice. Amidst human weaknesses therefore, God will always find man's strengths as avenues of miracles-as music is to soothe the soul's struggles and pains of its humanity and transforms them into joyous and encompassing understanding about the Divine.
