Music of the Spheres
The piece reflects the composer's fascination with the origins of the
universe and deep space in general.
The title comes from a theory, formulated by Pythagoras, that the cosmos was
ruled by the same laws he had discovered that govern the ratios of note
frequencies of the musical scale. (‘Harmonia’ in Ancient Greek, which means
scale or tuning rather than harmony – Greek music was monophonic). He also
believed that these ratios corresponded to the distances of the six known
planets from the sun and that the planets each produced a musical note which
combined to weave a continuous heavenly melody (which, unfortunately, we
humans cannot hear). In this work, these six notes form the basis of the
sections MUSIC OF THE SPHERES and HARMONIA.
The pieces opens with a horn solo called t = 0, a name given by some
scientists to the moment of the Big Bang when time and space were created,
and this is followed by a depiction of the BIG BANG itself, as the entire
universe bursts out from a single point.
A slower section follows called THE LONELY PLANET which is a meditation on
the incredible and unlikely set of circumstances which led to the creation of
the Earth as a planet that can support life, and the constant search for
other civilisations elsewhere in the universe.
ASTEROIDS AND SHOOTING STARS depicts both the benign and dangerous objects
that are flying through space and which constantly threaten our planet, and
the piece ends with THE UNKNOWN, leaving in question whether our continually
expanding exploration of the universe will eventually lead to enlightenment
or destruction.
