A piece for orchestra and choir, composed in 2013 to the memory of Russian composer Vladislav A. Uspensky, based on a piece of the same name that I wrote in 1997, while taking master classes with him at Lima, Peru.
The text is an extract of the poem "Urania", by Russian poet Fyodor Tyutchev:
"The measureless sea stretches under my feet,
And in the blue light of the gentle waves
The sky is aflame with burning stars,
Like the faces of gods in a pure heart.
Expectation is like a quiet trembling."
