The "Asteron" abstract four-part set extols the glory of the two brightest stars in the night sky, Regulus and Sirius.  The later, Sirius is distinguished as being twice as large as our sun whose heliacal rising marked the flooding of the Nile in Ancient Egypt-- and the former, Regulus (Latin for "Prince" or "Little King") is known as the brightest star in the constellation of Leo, thus "the heart of the lion."  These compositions celebrate the dichotomy of lightness and dark in deference to celestial rays as they cross our earthen skies.
