Colorful and exciting best describe this program work. A hauntingly lyric flute line and distant brass chords create a tranquil setting for the opening section of this piece. A gradual increase in tempo and intensity leads into the allegro molto portion. Highlighted by syncopated, dance-like melodies and punctuated with rhythmic accompanying figures, this section displays an almost jazz-like interplay that leads to the full and grandiose ending.
