This slow fanfare is a kind of a nephew to Ives' Unanswered Question. Not as good, but quite nice (as most nephews are).

For me, this composition has always evoked half-forgotten memories of staring into the night sky, lost in the magnificence of twinking stars and faraway galaxies, of distant worlds and burning supernovae, of lights in the night and of gazing deeply into the enormous, awe-inspiring panorama of existence.I love this piece, and I sincerely hope other people find it as enlightening as I did.

So beautiful as I always find Adams. Those first two comments are both interesting. Thank you both.

Did they use this song in the animated classic Spirited Away?

@GirugaMarc or civilization IV 8-)

wow, this sounds like a composition by Nobuo Uematsu. Sounds like ti would belong in Final Fantasy 12
-
@Ajepson2 Agreed. Check out the second movement, Short Ride in a Fast Machine!

The composer, whose work i like often enougn, is the one who compared this to the Ives. Even I thought when I read it (liner notes) uh, Hubris? But unless you are a deity, maybe you should leave it to the deities, or take it up directly with the composer. And Apollo! Spare us all from petty academic martinets!

You all seem to forget that this was written for the Texas Sesquicentennial Celebration. If you aren't familiar with the Alamo, I doubt you would understand.

this would perfectly fit to a star trek movie

How could you compare Ives and Adams?,its totally meaningless,like comparing dali to rafaello.
Adams is a minimalist or post-minimalist,Ives used really different composing techniques.Dont forget this,please!

Forget the labeling for a minute. Both works are very slow and quiet, both feature a trumpet against a slow and quiet strings background. I'm sure that Adams was aware of that while composing. He's a great admirer of Ives.
