about

Creation and Re-Creation musically depicts the overarching story of the gospel - creation, fall, and redemption. The harp, representing God, begins with a seven note motif which symbolises His eternal, unchanging, perfect nature. God's creative works occur when the flute, representing Lucifer, and later the voice, representing mankind, enter in unison with the harp. Both Lucifer and mankind quickly stray from unity with God, entering into the dissonances of the following section. Yet God wants to be reunited with mankind, and so He dies to sacrifice Himself for them, depicted by the only section in which the harp is silent. Meanwhile, Lucifer nervously waits for his triumph to be complete and mankind mourns the death of hope in salvation. Yet Christ's resurrection from the dead when the harp returns creates a new beginning, allowing God and man to reunite, marked by unison in the harp and voice parts. After the flute exits, depicting God's judgment on Lucifer, the harp and voice return to the opening motif, representing the eternal and perfect unity of God with those He has redeemed. Despite the controversial program of this piece, which some may consider erroneous or too detailed, and others, not nuanced enough, I hope that all listeners will be able to appreciate the piece on a musical level.

(Note: "Creation and Re-Creation" has been revised since this recording. Essential stylistic features remain the same, while the initial section has condensed and the contrasting middle section has expanded.)
