Personal Story Behind the Work

This Symphonic poem was composed while going through a very serious time in my life. I needed support & reached out to my God. Blest to "hear" HIm as a composer, I "heard" from Him through the music he sent to my mind & spirit. He comforted me & spoke to me through the music. Full orchestral instrumentation bring piece to sound the musical journey.

Fear Worry Unkowing its journey....

I made it through my situation & embark on a journey to release an audio of this piece for

1) Those who enjoy a musical symphonic journey

2) Those in personal need of support who will identify in the music

and hopefully feel its comfort & companionship
