The idea of a spark is expressed in various ways throughout the music, such as: electrical sparks and the starting of an engine, information travelling around the world at the speed of light, the energy within living things and the Universe, and a realization of personal truth and the nature of human existence. The piece carries many messages pertaining to the wonders and dangers associated with technology and the power it grants Humanity.67502 bytes4625695 bytesapplication/pdfapplication/pdfen-USBaylor University theses are protected by copyright.
