Jeffrey,
  You might find it much easier to apply rotations like these
using combinations of "rotate x to" and "rotate y by" commands.
That'd be much easier than directly forming the global matrix
for yourself. Let me know if there's some reason you're unable
to use the built-in rotate commands for this purpose.
