Izzo: Celestial Navigations

Joseph Cornell created a series of works with a similar theme that he called Celestial Navigations.  In these pieces he used items such as star maps, diagrams of trade winds and solar and lunar eclipses to create a personal inquiry into the cosmos.


This series inspired my third variation.  For some reason I kept thinking of an old wheezy pump organ as I was working on the music.  I may have been juxtaposing the grand themes of the space & time with Cornell's involvement in Christian Science which creates a picture in my mind of Cornell with a small, humble group of followers gathering in a backroom to sing hymns.
