The stars, moons, and planets dwell in the heavens—and so do the gods! Three organists, a narrator, and the percussionists of the HMDK present an evening concert as part of the Music Festival for Children and Youth, in which the sun is celebrated in hymns and the earth is silently kissed by the heavens, the grass awakens, and the gods of war, Mars and Ku-Ka-Ilimoku, meet! The concert hall in the tower glows, resonates, and rings with organ pipes, lamps, gongs, cymbals, and drums, as well as the marimba and vibraphone.
