"Imagine your hopes and dreams translated into music. Imagine the glorious and thrilling sounds of a John Williams or Bernard Herrmann film score. Imagine music taking you across space and time...to Mars. This is what Arturo Rodriguez does with imagination, verve and style. Treasures abound in this music for large orchestra, women's chorus, and tenor. Most young composers wouldn't dream of writing for such mammoth forces and ever hearing their work performed once, let alone commissioned and recorded. This is proof both of Rodriguez's stature and promise as the most exciting rising star in today's musical firmament."
