On a clear night we see durations of time perceived at once through constellations of light from stars light years away. A music composer creates constellations of sound at once perceived visually in a score, or its providence. The score's fate is to be presented through sound in a sequence of time. The score forms the model, or providence, for the music. Each performance of the score is unique because it is dependent on the character of each performing artist and the audience. Thus, fate becomes the unique performance of providence.
