Flight to Eternity - Music by Arturo Rodriguez

Earlier this year I received the toughest request to compose a work. My dear friend David Zambrano, who is single handedly responsible for supporting my music career since I was 15 years old and who's sponsorship helped me leave my home country of México and study music abroad, found out that he had a very aggressive cancer and wanted me to compose a work of music for him. What followed was a series of phone calls and messages that resulted on this work for solo piano, symphony orchestra and female choir. David, who is not a musician, became a creative partner suggesting style of music, length and even instrumentation. Even the title of the work, which I originally named "David's Flight" was changed to "Flight to Eternity" by David's request. This is the premiere performance and recording of the work. Performed by Budapest Scoring in February 2023. David is still battling cancer every single day. Every single second. My wish is that this musical work, which is a celebration of life, serves as some kind of comfort each time it reaches David's ears.
