Description
This is a seven movement musical narrative describing the various stages of the development of the creation of life. It is neither a religious statement nor a scientific document. By combining different musical techniques and styles, co-existing here side by side, I have found a way to express my views of an ideal utopian world, of a society where everyone lives together in harmony and peace. I have completed my musical narrative with a poem my mother wrote sometime before 1933, in a time of deprivation and extreme hardship and to complete the symphony with a section from a psalm, the last words; ‘that mortal men may cause terror no more’ as a plea to humanity. The poem is written in German and describes the poverty and needs of simple everyday folk.
