Description

Apo The Phoenix was a fabulous mythical Arabian bird said to be as large as an Eagle with brilliant scarlet and gold plummage and a melodic cry. It was said that only one Phoenix existed at any one time, and it was very long lived. No ancient sources gave it a life span of less than 500 years. As its end approached, the Phoenix made a nest of aromatic branches, set it on fire, and was consumed in the flames. From the ashes, or according to some, from the midst of the flames, miraculously sprang the new Phoenix, immortal.

Can smell the sandalwood. Always a time of sadness... and then of rejoicing when the phoenix begins a new cycle... Believe you have created a composition that relates well to that combo of emotions.
