I'd just like to thank the His Angels and Serafene Choir at Holmen Church in Norway and your director, Marilyn Brattskar, for this beautiful rendition of my prayer-song "Shelter Me" (with the two-part vocal arrangement by Ms Brattskar). I already knew that the music was wonderfully performed from hearing it a little time ago, but I was not prepared for how exquisite the video is. I know that the church exterior and interior shots are of the Holmen Church. Am I correct in assuming that the exterior shots of the forest, streams and waterfalls are in the vicinity of the church? How fortunate you are to live in such beauty. I'm forwarding the video to my friend Marty Haugen (in case you might not know, also a long-term church composer) because, given his Norwegian heritage, I think he would especially appreciate your work. I hope this is correct: "Tusen takk og Gud velsigne dere alle."
