This is an very emotional and beautiful piece of Celtic wedding music. There is a distinct spiritual feel to the song and it is based upon traditional Irish folk melodies.

Accompanied by a strange mix of relief and sadness, it is with great pleasure that I am finally letting go and releasing my fourth and final movement to my Symphony No. 4. 

It is also my pleasure to announce that Liz Dicker @Liz-Dicker is simultaneously  releasing her beautiful and moving performance of a piano piece I wrote based in part on this final movement.  If you would like to listen to it, please click on this link: https://soundcloud.com/liz-dicker/evie-by-christopher-larkins

I wish it was not the case, but as a result of COVID19, I have been able to invest more time into writing this Symphony than any prior composition. Thus, I think it is only fitting that I dedicate the whole work to the recognition of how much suffering people throughout the world has had to endure as a result of this terrible virus.  

Within the journey of this movement and the Symphony as a whole, there are numerous twists and turns, and just like life, it is far from all smooth sailing. I hope though, that you feel as I do, that there are many passages throughout the Symphony that celebrate life.  But to me, even though this last movement does lament what is lost, it is within the last few bars where the journey finally releases an unequivocal affirmation of the beauty and majesty of life.  

Whatever you glean from the work, I hope its was worth listening to.

The picture for this movement is taken from the exact same place that the picture for the 3rd movement was taken.   The 3rd movement's picture was taken shortly after my neighborhood had been ravaged by wildfire.  This picture was taken a few months later after we had rejuvenating winter rains in Southern California.  As you can see, the hillsides came rushing back to life.  Hopefully, the world will rejuvenate and recover very soon from the ravages of COVID.

As always, thank you for listening and do stay healthy.

Larkins | Symphony No. 4, Movement 4

Remember White (born 03 April 1975) is an Irish musician and composer. His music is recognized by its careful use of a well tempered piano in relatively minimalist compositions, often with a touch of either European classical music or Irish folk music.

Using primarily the piano, his musical style is similar to Ludovico Einaudi and Joe Hisaishi, but his more traditional work is reminiscent of Erik Satie, Philip Glass and Michael Nyman.

"Still, I am conscious now that behind all this beauty, satisfying though it may be, there is some spirit hidden of which the painted forms and shapes are but modes of manifestation, and it is with this spirit that I desire to become in harmony." Oscar Wilde
