In the Crystalline Vault of Heaven
is the third movement of
Earth Airs
(Symphony No. 2). This movement stands alone as a composition for SATB Chorus, a cappella.
Earth Airs
is my second symphony, a choral symphony. The text is adapted from the ancient Greek philosopher, Anaximenes of Miletus. Anaximenes was one of several Presocratic philosophers who questioned standard mythological creation theories and opted, instead, for observable explanations to better understand our world. Anaximenes suggests that air is the underlying substance from which everything is created. In his text, Anaximenes muses on the infinite nature of air, on the soul of the world, on the crystalline vault of the heavens, and on the moon being fire. I was intrigued by this notion of an underlying substance of air, and the musical ideas that his text evoked.
Earth Airs
was written in a spirit of celebration and mindfulness for the fragility of the atmosphere that supports life on earth.
