I Think That Of My 21 Symphonies,

I Did All Kinds Of Things In Order To Earn A Living.

To Me, Atonality Is Against Nature. There Is A Center To Everything That Exists. The Planets Have The Sun, The Earth, The Moon.

I Was Born In Somerville, But I Don't Remember Very Much About It Because We Moved From There To Arlington When I Was Five Years Old, And It Was In Arlington That I Spent Most Of My Childhood.

The Composer...joins Heaven And Earth With Threads Of Sounds.

My Purpose Is To Create Music Not For Snobs, But For All People, Music Which Is Beautiful And Healing. To Attempt What Old Chinese Painters Called 'spirit Resonance' In Melody And Sound.
