The music of Charles O. Beck

Symphony No. 2 in G (sort of)

“Dualities”

Symphony Number 2 cover artThe movement titles pretty much say it all for this one.

Other than that, all I can say is that I believe this to be the best and most profound of all my works, both musicologically and artistically. In the first movement, in particular, I fully explored some of the possibilities of “equitonalism”, as well as executing a thorough “mirror” approach to the thematic material.

I. Ma'or Gadol, Ma'or Qaton

III. Mashiach, Satan

IV. Gehenna, Ouranós
