Symphony #9-THE HOOP OF LIFE, is a choral symphony using Cherokee, Lakota vocables, Hebrew and Kabbalistic numerology. This Symphony is to be an invocation, a tuning, a vision for what is possible through indigenous and Kabbalist teachings. If we truly believe in Oneness, that we are All part of the total cosmic Consciousness, then there must be a way to harness the "verb" of life and refocus mankind from self-destruction. Many will think I'm crazy, a cock-eyed romantic... whatever...
