Celestial Symphony No. 6

Regarding his Celestial Symphony No. 6, the composer says, “I was always fascinated by the activities of the planets and stars that surround us, especially with the recent disastrous influences on our lives on earth by such things as hurricanes, wars, hunger, and sudden changes of climate, to name a few. I was suddenly inspired to deal with all this in my own way with a Zodiac-oriented work that describes its four elements in musical terms. Air, Earth, Water and Fire, the four elements, comprise the movements of the symphony in three parts, Water and Fire being connected in the last movement.

"The beginning of this work came unexpectedly during a visit to my doctor. Feeling miserable with a cold, cough, sore throat and the rest, I was giving all the needed information to a nurse waiting for the doctor to come. I felt like I was being helped by an angel from above. I noticed on the I.D. of the nurse the name “Celeste”; thus my celestial symphony began. It is dedicated to all the Earth’s people, who quietly help us in the everyday activities of our lives. Celestial Symphony No. 6 is based on the circular motions in the Zodiac and its imagery of influences on our planet.”
