Year
1978
Instrumentation
Carillon
Notes
Commissioned by the University of California, Berkeley, for the dedication of the 61-bell carillon in Sather Tower. The title is a reference to the historic concept of the "harmony of the spheres" — that the planets, in their orbits and rotations, were "vibrating" in harmonic ratios. There are many such references in the titles of Felciano’s music: Hymn of the Universe, Cosmic Festival, God of the Expanding Universe, Galactic Rounds.
