Modern though it is, Mr. Gandolfi's "The Garden Of Cosmic Speculation" stays well within the bounds of tonality, quoting from various works written throughout the centuries in its depiction of an actual Scottish garden. Music is often created to design, reflect, and create; and certainly that is what Mr. Gandolfi's music does here, with the full forces of a symphonic orchestra, the Atlanta Symphony, with various solo instruments taking on colorful characterizations, including the bells in "The Quark's Walk.

Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, cond Robert Spano. May 18 2008, 1:00am, The Sunday Times. Music has often depicted landscapes but rarely with the programmatic intentness of this curious 68-minute orchestral fantasia, given a brilliant premiere recording. Gandolfi responds with bright, energetic tone pictures (the 16 modular movements can be assembled ad libitum) in a breezy farrago of tonal styles

Michael James Gandolfi (born July 5, 1956) is an American composer of contemporary classical music. He chairs the composition department at the New England Conservatory of Music (NEC). He has been championed by conductor Robert Spano as one of the "Atlanta School" of American composers, a group that includes Osvaldo Golijov, Jennifer Higdon, Christopher Theofanidis and Adam Schoenberg. He sometimes looks to the sciences for his subject matter. His The Garden of Cosmic Speculation was inspired by Charles Jencks' garden in Scotland that incorporates modern physics into its design. His works have been performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, The New World Symphony, the Houston Symphony Orchestra, the Boston Modern Orchestra Project, BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, and many others.

The Garden of Cosmic Speculation is a 30 acre 12 hectare sculpture garden created by landscape architect and theorist Charles Jencks at his home, Portrack. The garden is the subject of an orchestral composition by American composer, Michael Gandolfi, which he composed for a joint commission from the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Tanglewood Music Center The piece was subsequently recorded by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra conducted by Robert Spano, and nominated for "Best Contemporary Classical Composition" at the 2009 Grammy Awards.
