Sacred Geometry for Chamber Orchestra

This work is inspired by the architecture and art of the late medieval and Renaissance periods of European times. Many churches, cathedrals, and castles built centuries ago still inspire and edify us. Perhaps you may hear sounds within this work that hearken to those timeless qualities of proportion, symmetry, harmony, and dancing rhythm.

Unity can become multiplicity and diversity. Geometry attempts to recapture the orderly movement from an infinitely formlessness to an endless interconnected array of forms, and in recreating this mysterious passage from One to Two, it renders it symbolically visible.

Within the human consciousness there is the unique ability to perceive the transparency between absolute, permanent relationships, contained in the insubstantial forms of geometric order, and the transitory, changing forms of our actual world. The content of our experience results from an immaterial, abstract geometric architecture that is composed of harmonic waves of energy, modes of relationality, melodic forms springing forth from the eternal realm of geometric proportion.
