Tales of Thomas

Tales of Thomas - AKA Brian Thomas - is a hymn writer/reviser, artist, and founder of Semper Reformanda Records currently residing in San Diego, CA with his wife and two daughters. He is the Cantor at Grace Lutheran Church where he is helping to develop a ministry of music and the arts.

With his debut release, Hymns: Revisited/Remixed, Brian pulled from popular hymns of the past to show what can be done in the present. Combining genre's of electronica, chamber, and indie-pop, he has created a unique and compelling worship experience.

TOT's sophomore album, Divine Service, is an orchestral affair. The concept was to record songs that are common to western liturgies in the order of an actual worship service. Taking ancient songs and chants like the Kyrie Elaison, Agnus Dei, and the Nunc Dimittis, Brian rearranged the tunes and melodies to become a blend of old and new (or to put it in Dr. Robert Webber's words, Ancient/Future worship). Together with these songs he added well known hymns like Luther's A Mighty Fortress is our God and Wesley's Depth of Mercy.
