Summary:
Reinvented Worlds, The Swan - Vol 4 in 4 movements by John Gardner
Cygnus X-1 in A Major: This movement as part of Gardners Symphony: Reinvented Worlds (Vol 4 Cygnus X-1) was inspired by Cygnus X-1. The black hole that started it all.
Stephen Hawking's writings always fascinated me, although the world’s first black hole is still a mystery.
Deneb in C Major: This movement as part of Gardners Symphony: Reinvented Worlds (Vol 4 Cygnus X-1) was inspired by Deneb, the most distant bright star in Earth's sky. The star is in the "tail" of the constellation Cygnus (the Swan).
Albireo in D Minor: This movement as part of Gardners Symphony: Reinvented Worlds (Vol 4 Cygnus X-1) was inspired by Cygus's Albireo. Albireo is still sometimes known as the “beak star,” as it marks the beak of the celestial Swan.
Kepler-22 in A Minor: This movement as part of Gardners Symphony: Reinvented Worlds (Vol 4 Cygnus X-1) was inspired by Kepler-22b, which is a super-Earth that could be covered in a super ocean. Theoretically an ocean world tipped on its side like our ice giant, Uranus.

These series of works, called “Reinvented Worlds” Vol. 1-4, is an extraordinary 2 hour-long series of albums of original orchestral pieces.
Through a journey of exposition, development, and recapitulation Gardner’s music is a meandering adventure of movement and colour. The intricate symmetries and microtonally tinged canons, sonatas, small ternaries, scherzos, minuets, fugues and fugatos weave a sweetly sinister path... an icy, fragile world that Gardner had been mapping out for himself, and which now is offered to the listener when reflecting a melancholy time, challenging a tough period, looking in the skies in wonderment, pondering an old love or simply offering support when in a state of being pleasantly lost in one's daydreaming reverie.
There is the feeling and sense of there being something timeless and utterly inevitable about Reinvented Worlds.
