Hi Robert,

Wow! I've been listening to some of your 50/90 songs. Your songwriting is zooming! "Fall On His Grace" is exceptional. It is lyrically simple, wonderfully melodic and spiritually uplifting; these features makes it highly memorable and perfect for a hymn. It's a real credit to you.

An interesting fact is that 9/8 was regarded by the Church in Bach's day as the perfect time signature because of its association with "3" (i.e. 9 = 3 x 3) and thus the Holy Trinity. For this reason, many of Bach's works are written in 9/8. The Church used to use a circle in the time signature to signify this time signature. If the time signature was anything other than 9/8, the Church used to use a half-circle. In time, this half-circle developed to become our "C" for "common time".

I'm heading back to listen to #33 again, now.

Regards,
Noel
