A Terra - (The Earth) Terra Is Latin for Earth. The Earth was regarded in many other cultures as being alive and personified in a deity. Terra Mater literally translated means “Earth Mother” a Goddess that personified Earth. Terra was referred to as a fertile earth one bringing forth fruit and Mater as a woman who gives birth to children. The Roman Goddess Tellus was seen as Terra Mater and corresponds with the Greek Goddess Gaia. We as humans are part of “Mother Earth”. The essential elements necessary to sustain the Chemistry of Life, our being as humans are those very elements required to preserve Mother Earth. Thus we are at one with Terra Mater we depend on her to nurture us and she depends on every living being to nurture her to continue the Circle of Life. Roughly 96 percent of the mass of the human body is made up of just four elements: oxygen, carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen. The remaining 4 percent is a sparse sampling of the periodic table of elements. Some of the more prominent representatives are called macro nutrients, whereas those appearing only at the level of parts per million or less are referred to as micronutrients. These nutrients perform various functions, including the building of bones and cell structures, regulating the body's pH, carrying charge, and driving chemical reactions. The FDA set a reference daily intake for 12 minerals (calcium, iron, phosphorous, iodine, magnesium, zinc, selenium, copper, manganese, chromium, molybdenum and chloride). Sodium and potassium also have recommended levels, but are treated separately. However, this does not exhaust the list of elements that we as humans need. Zinc (0.0032%) is an essential trace element for all forms of life. Several proteins contain structures called "zinc fingers" help to regulate genes and used to build molecules of DNA, which is the chemical in our body that tells cells what chemicals they should make. It directs the reproduction of humans also. Chemists have now found that zinc plays an essential role in the manufacture of many important chemicals in the human body.Copper (0.0001%) is important as an electron donor in various biological reactions. Without enough copper, iron won't work properly in the body.Minerals and metals are mostly obtained from the earth’s crust. Brass is a substitutional alloy made of copper and zinc. Copper is a natural chemical element which in its natural metallic state is called native copper and is formed from the lava and minerals that occur during volcanic activity. Zinc is a natural component of the earth’s crust and an inherent part of our environment present not only in rock and soil, but also in air, water, the biosphere, plants, animals and humans. Written for and dedicated to Sérgio Carolino and MASSIVE BRASS ATTACK Brass Ensemble and Percussion, A Terra unites the alloys of copper and zinc present in our physical chemistry with those in Brass and percussion instruments, their acoustic properties and combined with, oxygen the most essential element of life brings the very essence of my work to life.
