This is the first printing of the dramatic triptych written for the dedication of the fresco in St Peter’s Catholic Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1989. The music was commissioned by Chuck Stanford and was part of the Ceremony of Dedication. Includes full program notes. Highest quality guaranteed. Size of music is 13.5" x 10.5". $15.00.

Michael Johnston (b. 1956) studied piano (Flora Neeley) and composition (Michael Pittard) from early ages with the intent to learn the organ. He is a graduate of Mars Hill College (Donna Nagey Robertson) and Westminster Choir College (William Hays) and with John Apple began Michael’s Music Service. The three movements of the piece are: The Spirit Tested, The Spirit Descends, and The Spirit Triumphant. Sadly, the fresco was destroyed in 2002 due to vibration from nearby construction. “Manifestations of the Spirit” is moderately difficult.
