about

Paul McCandless wrote this piece which expresses the harmonies of the Spanish Steps in Rome, designed by Michelangelo. Inspired by mathematical ratios in the steps’ design, McCandless created the meditative chordal structure and melody of the piece. The monumental stairway of 135 steps is a popular landmark in Rome. Bill and Paul both play solos.
