Mvt 4 from my suite Music of the Spheres. This mvt uses the pitches that Johannes Kepler derived through mathematical equations for Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. The harmonic progression is the same one that Kepler felt was the culmination of these pitches for a celestial motet.The recording is from a performance at the Meadowlands Environmental Center in Lyndhurst, NJ April, 10 2013

Celestial Choral

Mvt 3 from my suite Music of the Spheres. This mvt uses the pitches that Johannes Kepler derived from the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. Kepler wrote about this in his book Harmonice Mundi in 1619, which led him to the 3rd planetary law of motion..The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. The recording is from a performance at the Meadowlands Environmental Center in Lyndhurst, NJ April, 10 2013

Harmonice Mundi

Mvt 2 from my suite Music of the Spheres. My ode to Pythagoras, based on the overtone series. The recording is from a performance at the Meadowlands Environmental Center in Lyndhurst, NJ April, 10 2013

Intervallic Dreams

Mvt 1 from my suite Music of the Spheres. This mvt gets it start from a note currently emanating from a black hole, a Bb 57 octaves below middle C. The inteplay between the sections of the band represents "Cosmic Strings" which are likely to have occurred during the earliest moments of the universe's evolution, just after cosmological inflation, that are partially wrapped on compact cycles associated to extra spacetime dimensions so that only one non-compact dimension remains The recording is from a performance at the Meadowlands Environmental Center in Lyndhurst, NJ April, 10 2013
