I wanted to see everything. It was around the time I acquired language, or even before that time, when something happened that changed my relationship to the spin of the world. My concept of language, of what was possible with music was changed by this revelatory moment. It changed even the way I look at the sun. Joy Harjo

At the age of seven, he started to compose his first piece of music. At fourteen, he amazed everyone with his skills as an accomplished pianist. By the time he was twenty, he had composed some of his greatest works; including "The Magic Flute", "The Marriage of Figaro", "Don Giovanni", and "The Magic Flute.” His talent was unparalleled by anyone in history.
