Mighty Legend - Patrick Smith

It was a “Stock Tune” available to me when I was asked to set up my Mother’s legacy obituary.
Patrick Smith is one of those unsung composers like Jerry Goldsmith that have a very high volume of compositions used in media movies television and whatnot. They perhaps don’t have the popular glamor of John Williams or Leonard Bernstein, but the volume of their product is enormous, and you’re even more likely to have encountered their products than from popular composers.

Faced with the sudden passing of my extraordinary mother … this tune was the only one offered, that I had peace about.
“In an Obituary!?” … Well, you had to know my Mother. … all the popular tunes were syrupy sweet," oh, let’s not trounce anyone’s comfortable feelings of mambi Bambi death denial. “ I think with some people at death they think of death, and with others they are capitulated to think of life!

SO I use this as a tune for an associated reminder alarm , …. And I tell you, it makes me stop and put off the concerns of the flesh, and enter the power of the victorious eternal kingdom.

I’ve just been thinking a lot about this recently. Jesus Christ, the same, yesterday , today, and forever.
