Symphony N V, Fons Vitae (Full Video)

Symphony N.V: Fons Vitæ (The Fountain of Life) by David-Ezra Okonsar is a powerful and dynamic composition that captures the essence of life itself. Fons Vitae, inspired by the book of Solomon ibn Gabirol (1021-1058), is a musical journey filled with emotional depth and vibrant melodies that transport listeners to a realm of pure beauty and introspection.
Solomon ibn Gabirol, also called Avicebron, was an eleventh-century Spanish-Jewish poet and philosopher. His writings offer profound insights and provoke deep contemplation on timeless philosophical questions. The Fountain of Life is considered his primary philosophical work. Solomon ibn Gabirol used a Socratic-style dialogue structure to expound upon his thesis of the 'First Cause' in this book.
The Fons Vitae, initially written in Arabic, was later translated to Latin around the 12th century. This translation was crucial in introducing Solomon ibn Gabirol's ideas to Western philosophers and scholars. The Fons Vitae tackles complex philosophical concepts such as the nature of G.d, the soul, and the relationship between intellect and matter. It is a testament to ibn Gabirol's brilliance and intellectual prowess that his work continues to be studied and appreciated centuries after its creation.
A large orchestra is employed for the work. Okonsar did not use electronic sound sources in this project as he often does to maintain a traditional and organic feel to the music. #contemporaryclassicalmusic #orchestra #classicalmusic #classicalmusician #pianomusic #composer #classicalpiano #chambermusic #musicaclassica #symphony #pianosolo #contemporarymusic #experimentalmusic #electronicmusic #avantgardemusic ............................................................
