Celestial Musings for Alto Saxophone Alone

The composer states, "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, 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."

Celestial Musings for Alto Saxophone Alone is based on the circular motions in the Zodiac and its imagery of influences on our planet. This is the composer's third work dealing with the stars, the first being Celestial Symphony No. 6.
