Composed in 1984-85, "Symphony #4: The Air, the Ether, and the Music of the Mind," was premiered by the Ventura Symphony in 1987. In reference to this piece:

"It's a sophisticated work ...it's mind-boggling to imagine what Chesne will be writing in 10 years."

-TONY JOSEPH, THE VENTURA COUNTY STAR

"...is melodic and demonstrates Chesne's possession of an ample pallette of orchestral coloration. The sensibility revealed in the symphony is sophisticated, yet gentle."

-RITA MORAN, THE VENTURA COUNTY STAR

"The music was not only skillfully crafted and well grounded with fresh new melodic, harmonic, rhythmic, contrapuntal and orchestral designs, but it was full of emotional content, of established 20th Century techniques with audience communication of Apollonian discipline with Dyonisian fervor, which created a magic that made all who were present want more of this artist."

-FRANK SALAZAR, Conductor, VENTURA COUNTY SYMPHONY
