"Having composed Psalms and music for the catholic Mass, it was time for me to start composing for voices and instruments, outside the liturgy. 

Music remains a special art which enable ourselves to be connected to subtile dimensions of the Life.

The recent compositions include works for the organ, the organ with voices, a capella, the violin, the viola da gamba, the recorder, and the pan flute"
