The Cosmos Symphonic Suite for Orchestra is a cycle of 12 Symphonies available in Volumes and CD’s, approximately 15 hours of music, inter-related thematically fromVolumes XV to XXVI. They are intended to be performed as independent pieces, or as Volumes, or in groups of Volumes.

The Cosmos Symphonic Suite was conceived in the spirit of fantasy. During the creative process, the work became a combination of influences from Larsen’s life. He has consciously broken the formalized barriers of conventional Concerto and Instrumental versus Symphony with free use of Solos especially from the piano and keyboard instruments.

“The significance of this collection on the culture of classical music cannot be overstated. Larsen’s volumes of solo piano and orchestral music impact classical music’s identity to twenty-first century audiences, who will find that its focus is vital and culturally relevant. This collected edition marks an important and large contribution to piano and orchestra repertoire through its aesthetic vision, originality and legacy.”
Dr. Mark Howard, PhD
“These volumes establish Larsen as one of today’s most prolific piano composers. Larsen compositions represent a continuous cycle of romantic, yet classically written, music in a bold, new contemporary idiom.”
A.K. Meler, Sheryl Carlin, Dr. Mark Howard, Dr. Ray A. Briggs, and Dr. Andres R. Amado, PhD
