The composition takes its name from Hindu mythology, where Hiranyaloka is the abode of Lord Brahma, the creator of the universe. The music aims to evoke the cosmic harmony and balance that underlies the structure of the universe.

The orchestration is rich and complex, featuring a vast array of instruments including strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. Stroppa also incorporates electronic soundscapes and sample-based synthesis to create a unique blend of acoustic and electronic sounds.

The music is divided into three movements, each representing a different aspect of the universe. The first movement, "Primal Light," begins with a shimmering, ethereal texture that gradually builds into a grandiose, majestic theme. The second movement, "Dragonfly Dance," is a lively and intricate dance that showcases Stroppa's intricate rhythmic patterns. The final movement, "The Breath of the Universe," is a serene and contemplative piece that culminates in a dazzling display of orchestral virtuosity.

Overall, The Harmonious Universe of Hiranyaloka is a stunning example of contemporary orchestral music that explores the boundaries of sound and vision. It is a must-have for any serious lover of modern classical music and is sure to leave a lasting impression on anyone who experiences it.
