This work is a musical exploration of some of the insights of Indian philosophy about how the Universe came into existence. This subject held considerable fascination for the composer. The piece was written at the request of Sir Andrew Davies, on the understanding that it would receive a BBC performance. However, this has never happened, so the work is long overdue a first performance.
The text is taken from the
Rigveda, 3
rd part, 10
th section,
sookt 129. The translation used in the work is by A.A. Macdonell.
