Symphony No.3 (Supernova)
I: 13 billion years of light
II: clocks of light tick down to iron time
The title of this symphony and its two movements are taken from
the poem Supernova by Ross Baglin, which in turn
reflects the birth of elements and the age of the known universe,
and by extension the limits of our knowledge and existence. A
supernova is an astronomical event that occurs during the last
stages of a massive star's life, where its degeneration
culminates in titanic explosion and destruction. The best current
estimate of the age of the observable universe is around 13
billion years. As a massive star begins to die, it fuses lighter
elements into heavier, releasing energy in the process. This
continues until the star begins to fuse iron atoms. At this point
it collapses upon itself, becoming heavier and hotter until it
explodes in a supernova.
This symphony is dedicated to my father Geoffrey Greenbaum.
