RICHARD X. HEYMAN – SYMPHONY #1

I have been fascinated by birds for most of my life. I suppose you could say I enjoy looking up. The birds have the best of both worlds. They walk on the surface of planet Earth and they soar above it. This symphony is an homage to these beautiful living beings as well as the gorgeous sky they fly across. There are seventeen movements in this piece (hence the sub-title “17 Ways Of Looking At The Sky” which was suggested to me by poet Dolores Schmidt). I know when I listen to music, certain emotions or images pop into my head. I hope that you will feel and see, as well as hear, the music. I look forward to knowing your reaction to the various movements or the piece in general. And don’t forget to look up!
