Apocalypsis Iesu I Excerpt

Here you can listen to the initial 7 mins of the first chapter of the oratorio "Apocalypsis Iesu". The work began in 2010. After years of almost inability to bear listening to anything deemed "classical", lato sensu, life took a bend in the road, and I felt overwhelmed by the need to write again. This time free of ties to the audience or the academy. A music to give thanks, universal thanks to the Creator of All.
The main melody is a very simple, almost quaint A-minor run, like innumerable more that have come down to us from antiquity and the bright ages of the cathedrals and illuminated manuscripts.
The visual media, artwork included, offers a very personal, almost intimate approach to the life of a composer struggling with (not against) a destiny that approaches us in all manners and shapes, but always clearly signalling the way to follow. Weather we choose to accept it or not.
Like in the old Kabbalistic tradition, it takes many of us, sometimes the same many of us, to complete the work of realization of the primordial act, of the reckoning of consciousness. The tree that beckons the yet unrealized mustard seed.
Thanks to Pasha for his generosity, allowing me to use a masterpiece of detailed craft, and to Aomamihan for her work on (or in) "La Gruta del Apocalipsis", where I can turn secretly into a werewolf when nobody is watching.
