This piece originally featured as track 3 on my 2016 release, "The Ancient Greek Kithara of Classical Antiquity". This is an evocation of the lost melody which may have once accompanied a recitation of the 6th Orphic Hymn, “To The Stars (Astron)”:

“With holy voice I call the stars [Astron] on high, pure sacred lights and genii of the sky.
Celestial stars, the progeny of Night [Nyx], in whirling circles beaming far your light,
Refulgent rays around the heav'ns ye throw, eternal fires, the source of all below.
With flames significant of Fate ye shine, and aptly rule for men a path divine.
In seven bright zones ye run with wand'ring flames, and heaven and earth compose your lucid frames:

With course unwearied, pure and fiery bright forever shining thro' the veil of Night.
Hail twinkling, joyful, ever wakeful fires! Propitious shine on all my just desires;
These sacred rites regard with conscious rays, and end our works devoted to your praise.”

This piece is in the distinctively poignant ancient Greek Phrygian mode, which also can invoke a unique sense of timelessness and mystery, perfect for a song if praise to the immortal stars of the celestial spheres…
