Arthur D. SULIT (b.1968) is an organist and composer in northern California, who plays and composes sacred and secular music. His works have been played in church services and other venues throughout Northern America, Europe and the Philippines. He has given piano concerts at the Philippine Embassy in Washington D.C., for the State Department and various Senators. He has won numerous competitions in Organ performance, and is reviving hs organ works and other production projects.

Recent research reveals the name SULIT to be of Phoenician origin, whence came the legends of the Phoenix, the Ryme of the Ancient Mariner, celestial navigation, and our Alphabet. Phoenicia was located near present-day Lebanon, just north of Judea. Historically, the Phoenicians and Judaics, as friendly neighbors, were long-time allies...the Phoenicians supplied the wood for the Temple of David, for instance.

Books on this research are listed in the "Recommended Readings" link on the left, particularly those by Fr. Josemaria Luengo, PhD., who has gained exclusive (formerly State top-secrets) data from the National Archives in Madrid, Spain.

Phoenicia once ruled all of the Mediterranean, with her powerful navies. The Roman Biremes and Trieme ships, with sails and oars, were copied from Phoenician designs. In the Book of Kings 1 and 2, around 680 B.C., the Phoenician King Hiram had a trading partnership with the Judaic King David, "to the Land of Ophir". The Phoenicians supplied the ships, wood, and global navigation science. The Judaics, arguably, supplied the money and business smarts for Trade. Ophir is the land of the Orient, the Polynesian islands, including the Philippines. Hence, Phoenicians, Jews and Greeks were able to bring their culture and religion to the far East well before Alexander's time.

"Sulit" has a similar meaning in Lebanon, as the family spread in ancient sea-faring voyages to Indonesia (Moluccas) and Philippines. In all those regions, the name is also a word, which has to do with "Teacher" "Of Knowledge and Importance".

Arthur D. SULIT (b. 1968) is the grand-nephew of a famous composer, Lucrecia R. "King" Kasilag. Dr. Kasilag has brought her East/West Orchestra and Bayanihan Dance Troupe all of the world each year, from the 1950s through the 1990s, has appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, and is a Philippine National Artist. She attended the Julliard and Eastman Conservatories in the 1930's, then became Dean of Music at Philippine Women's University. With Imelda Marcos in the 1960's, Dr. Kasilag built the Philippine Cultural Center in Manila, a national symbol of the arts, similar in role to the Kennedy Center in the USA.

In Arthur's own youth, even before knowing the existence of his Grand-Aunt, he was winning 1st place in numerous Illinois State Organ competitions. He was in rock bands, studied film production, animation, special effects and film scoring, while doing work as a Computer Consultant. Mr. Sulit has worked as a Warfare Analyst for the U.S. Navy and Pentagon, in Arlington Virginia and Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland. In the late 1990's, he left that job after releasing his recordings on mp3.com, which dominated the music charts, and resulted in substantial royalties at the time.

With the rise of online music piracy, and subsequent demise of mp3.com, Mr. Sulit returned to computer consulting, for a number of years, kept away from the Organ, and symphonic composition. Only recently, is he returning to his roots, now showing emerging works reflecting his influences of Bach, Tchaikovsky, Korngold, Holst and others.
