Deaf judge composes music for Pope

An Australian judge has written music to be used at the World Youth Day services.

"The Sydney Morning Herald reports that the mass is titled Benedictus qui venit. It's from the Latin liturgy "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord", in honour of the visiting Pope Benedict.

Justice Palmer said: "This is a youth Mass, but it has to be suitable for everyday Sunday use, so it has to be happy, uplifting and full of energy."

Justice Palmer is a judge in the equity division of the NSW Supreme Court. He has written classical music for his own pleasure for many years. "
