"It behoveth thee not to grieve for that which must happen: for who can avert, by his wisdom, the decrees of fate? No one can leave the way marked out for him by Providence. Existence and non-existence, pleasure and pain all have Time for their root. Time createth all things and Time destroyeth all creatures. It is Time that burneth creatures and it is Time that extinguisheth the fire. All states, the good and the evil, in the three worlds, are caused by Time. Time cutteth short all things and createth them anew. Time alone is awake when all things are asleep: indeed, Time is incapable of being overcome. Time passeth over all things without being retarded. Knowing, as thou dost, that all things past and future and all that exist at the present moment, are the offspring of Time, it behoveth thee not to throw away thy reason." (Mahabharata, Adi Parva) Biography: The idea to form the music project which turned out to become Sagittarius evolved in the end of 1998. Back then project founder Cornelius Waldner was concentrating his musical skills on his black metal-band Hailstorm, but felt the urge and need to work more intensively with classical music and soundscapes. After two cassette releases in 1999 and 2002, Sagittarius's debut LP "Die Große Marina" saw the day of light in April 2003, being released by the German publishing house Renovatio Verlag in 300 copies on heavy white vinyl, clad into an elegant gatefold-package. It was a conceptual composition based on Ernst Jünger's novel "On The Marblecliffs", but should not be understood as an attempt to put the entire book into music, instead, selected scenes and passages were picked out and inspired Sagittarius during the process of creation. Apart from six own compositions, the album also included musical pieces by Ion Manzatu, Simion Lefter and Ludwig van Beethoven. The release of "Die Große Marina" was accompanied by a few selected concerts between 2002 and 2006, Sagittarius having shared the stage with Rose Rovine e Amanti, The Days Of The Trumpet Call, Von Thronstahl, and German poet Timo Kölling. In February 2006, Sagittarius participated in the creation of a soundtrack for a short independent movie entitled "Gelegenheit Leben", in March 2006, Sagittarius recorded new material that is featured on "Salon Décadence", a split-CD with Rose Rovine E Amanti, Tho-So-AA, Shava Sadhana, and Echo West, as well as on "Fragmente II", a private CD-release strictly limited to 50 copies. "Songs From The Ivory Tower", the much-anticipated second Sagittarius album, was released by Cold Spring Records on May 16th, 2008. The new opus contains 15 pieces of dark neoclassical music and is mainly based on poems by Stefan George, Bernhard von Uxkull-Gyllenband, Gottfried Benn, Ludwig Uhland and Timo Kölling, plus a number of instrumental pieces, featuring guest contributions by Marcel P. (Von Thronstahl), Herr Twiggs (Kammer Sieben), Damiano Mercuri (Rose Rovine E Amanti), Troy Southgate (H.E.R.R. / Seelenlicht) and Philipp Jonas (Secrets Of The Moon).
