Inasmuch as the above go before him now, they have really been preceded by his playwriting, poetic, and song composition skills, which began in the early seventies. He has composed seasonal and special songs for school and church choirs and other occasions. One of the little known but most outstanding of his compositions was done for the governor general of Jamaica in 1982. The occasion was Sir Florizel Glasspole’s attendance as guest speaker at one of the annual community exhibitions and fairs - Exhi-Fun-Fair ’83 in Portland at school where Gordon was Principal. The song presented by the school choir, was recorded on audio cassette and the words framed and delivered at Kings House, the official residence of the governor general.
Among his musical accomplishments was his production of several annual cantatas featuring works by Handel, Mozart, and Beethoven, among other musical maestros. Highlights of those programs were several pieces of his own composition performed by the forty-voice choir and a band, both of which he directed.
Dr. Gordon’s background in music began when he did a course in music appreciation and sang in the celebrated annual musical pageant Feast of Lights at West Indies College (now Northern Caribbean University). He continued honing his musical and choral skills with emphasis on composition and choir production. He rarely, but occasionally, sings solo!
He pursued further academic study in the area of music theory but never went beyond grade 3 in the Royal School of Music (RSM) program, and he never looked back. Paraphrasing of Bible verses in the context of family relational health has become a natural outgrowth of his song composition skills, hence the combination of both in complementing his Bible-based psychosocial seminars and therapy programs in family relational health.
The musical aspect of Dr. Gordon’s ministry has been ably supported by his wife of forty-five years, Deloris, and their singing two children, son, Delthony, and daughter, Delthonette. The team has been extended by singing daughter-in-law, Esther, and technical son-in-law, Andrew.
Dr. Gordon’s motto is “People need people,” and he questions, What better way to meet such needs from a psychotherapist’s perspective than to equip such people’s minds with family relational skills stabilized and anchored in the therapeutic, assuring, yet challenging and uplifting lyrics and melodies of the soul—songs and hymns of praise, thanksgiving, adoration, and supplication to the God of Families?vizualizați mai puține
