St David's Day

DEWI SANT, written March 1, 1994 in honor of St David. CLICK on the graphic for a full-sized view. The text, tune and harmonies are as extemporaneously written. I've not done any editing for content or to redact either the text for poetic improvement or the music or text for better prosody. It stands as I first "heard" it. St David's evangelistic efforts, his combat of the Pelagian heresy, etc., are all reflected in the text, and placed in the context that he demonstrated that he considered to be of first importance: Christ and His work. This great 6th century missionary to Wales is a worthy model for us all, IMO, and he and all those who went before and followed after him in similar endeavors deserve our greatest respect.
