The title "Canzona II:Tribute to the Sun" is inspired by a word of Goethe: "Wär' nicht das Auge sonnenhaft, die Sonne könnt' es nie erblicken;". ( "When the eye was not sun-like, it could never see the sun. ")
At the same time it reminds me of that celebrated Sanskrit verse of the Vedas (Ṛig-Veda, iii, 62, 10), the Gâyatrî Mantra, which forms part of the daily devotions of the Brahmans: "Let us set our hearts on that excellent glory of the divine Sun; may it stimulate our minds." (tat savitur vareṇyam bhargo devasya dhîmahi, dhiyo yo naḥ prachodayât.) The music itself has "joie de vivre", and is sometimes dancelike, sometimes with exaltation: a sort of "Ode " for orchestra so to say.

"Tribute to the Sun' is a work that starts dark and gets "brighter" (if you will) and really does exude a sunrise feel to it. I thought these two works work very well separately but also pair very well, as heard here...." Audiophile Audition, DANCES OF ETERNITY, June 11, 2013 - by Daniel Coombs
