Recorded with permission. All rights reserved. -------------------- In Loving Memory KAREL HUSA 1921-2016 Apotheosis of This Earth has been motivated by the present, desperate, stage of mankind and its immense problems with everyday killings, wars, hunger, extermination of fauna, huge forest fires, contamination of waters, and other pollutions. Man’s brutal possession and misuse of Nature’s beauty cannot lead ... if continued at today’s speed ... but to catastrophe. However, the composer hopes that the slow, but continuous, destruction of this “Beautiful Earth” can be stopped, and that the second movement, Tragedy of Destruction, as well as the third, Postscript, only exist as fantasy, and will never become reality. ~~ Karel Husa ~~ October, 1970
