William Gomes - Bagatelle: Divine Mercy (2019).mp4As Christ was drawing me closer to Himself during my freshman and sophomore years, I was puzzled and captivated by the infinite degree to which He forgives sinners. Knowing we are created to be like God, I thought we must practice this radical forgiveness in imitation of God, but how is this possible? Grace. Only by God’s help could mankind possibly forgive like God.
As I meditated on Divine Mercy, this piece emerged in a very complete stream of thought, being finished in only a few days.
Perhaps the most important achievement of my undergraduate career at the University of St. Thomas is my senior composition recital performed with hybrid (live or pre-recorded) acts on Mother's Day, May 9th, 2021. The full feature of this concert includes ten original compositions of various styles and for various instruments. This program was adjusted over the following summer for an online premiere on August 22nd, 2021. Here you will see the whole program with program notes delivered by the composer.
