SATURNALIA HEXAGON from POPTIMISM by Prescott Bush

Saturnalia Hexagon is a vivid orchestral journey that blends the spirit of ancient revelry with the mesmerizing power of Saturn’s great hexagonal storm. It begins with a hushed, ethereal introduction—distant, shimmering textures evoking the vastness of space and the slow, celestial waltz of Saturn’s rings. As the music unfolds, strings and woodwinds weave together in a restless, swirling motif, capturing the energy and unrestrained joy of Saturnalia, the Roman festival of light, chaos, and renewal.

Momentum builds as brass and percussion add weight and turbulence, reflecting the churning, hypnotic currents of Saturn’s unearthly jet stream. The music surges between moments of structured festivity and cosmic unpredictability, mirroring the tension between order and chaos, tradition and the unknown.

At the heart of the piece, a haunting yet majestic theme emerges, shifting between grandeur and mystery, pulling the listener deeper into the storm. As the climax unfolds, the orchestra erupts into a whirlwind of interwoven harmonies and driving rhythms before dissolving into a quiet, reflective close—a final glimpse at the grandeur of the cosmos.

Both celebratory and enigmatic, Saturnalia Hexagon invites listeners to lose themselves in a world of celestial wonder and symphonic storytelling.
