He Is King

This is the final song from Sister Janet Mead’s With You I Am album.

I was hoping for a song for Christ the King but this a wild solo vehicle in early seventies Australian rock mass style. It is based on Psalm 103 with music by Arnold Strals and Richard Moore.

I am finding lots of out of print Australian Catholic music from the seventies and eighties and it is a pity that the sheet music is hard to find. This is somewhat different in that Sister Janet Mead was under Festival Records, which was big time in Australia, rather than a religion only publisher.

Festival was bought out by Warners so I thought they might be involved, but on OneLicence the copyright says Du Monde music. They actually have her music for sale on CD under licence from Warners, so maybe they would be able to put out sheet music. Otherwise we are looking at the second hand market.
