Infinity - Concert Band

“Shooting stars symbolize good luck.   A change or big event is coming towards your life, it can also be a symbol of endings and beginnings.  Shooting stars are actually one of the most diverseomens we have throughout our history. Shooting star symbolizes a brief fleeting moment in ones life just like the brief wonder of seeing a shooting star race across the night sky.  They can also be a symbol of reaching ones ultimate destiny.

Shooting stars, asteroids and the movement of the heavenly bodies in the night sky have always fascinated to humans.  Some cultures have always had strong beliefs and superstitions in the meaning of shooting stars. Traditionally shooting starts also meant a new birth and changes in ones life and also a wish for a better life. 

With INFINITY I wanted to create the sense of shooting stars flying through the infinite playground known as space.  As the piece begins the world of space is filled with stars running through the skies.  Throughout the piece, the shooting stars go though many different scenarios both dark and light until finally at the end of the piece, the stars -with their bright colors and lights - flash across the sky with spectacular grandeur.”
