Product Description
2012. The end of the world. How much did we have to suffer through all those articles, movies, and events that never happened? But I still like the idea of it. Some sort of awakening.
This monumental symphony was an awakening for me as a composer because it was my first. Since then I have become accustomed to composing 'musical novels' as opposed to 'musical short stories.'
This piece begins with an ever growing energy that bursts into life. But with creation all is not over, it is only the beginning, it needs time to mature against adversity, bouncing between resolution and more growth, infinite, a never ending process.

James Nathaniel Holland is an American-Costa Rican classical music composer of operas, symphonies, ballets, songs, and other musical concertworks that incorporate a unique, eclectic, blend of romantic, classical, world and jazz styles.
Born and raised in Indiana, he studied music at DePauw University, Vienna Austria, Interlochen National Music Camp and Indiana University (Bloomington, IN). At these schools many of his early pieces were premiered and performed, with one work being selected for main-stage production in the season.
Moving to Los Angeles and then settling in New York, he performed professionally sometimes as a singer, sometimes as a pianist, sometimes as choral conductor. He composed incidental music for the stage. In 2002 he founded a composers collective where they showcased their work. He was one of the first composers to participate in the American Music Centers initial on-line library. The New Jersey Concert Opera and the Gay Mens Chorus of New Jersey also featured his comic operas and art songs.
From 2005 he moved to Costa Rica where he organized concerts with visiting guest artists to present his chamber music to the public. Presently he lives in a castle in the central mountains of Costa Rica.
