A vivid portrayal that features themes based on a descending bass line (earth), which is juxtaposed by an ascending line above it (sky). The composer has crafted the perfect balance among the lively, march- like opening statement, the slower, lyrical middle section, and the stately return of the original theme. An excellent work! 10458627 Band Set & Score. . . . . . . . . 60.00 10458628 Additional Score. . . . . . . . . . . 7.00 4 Ghost in the Machine—George Sweet.

This unusual work portrays the transformation of matter from solid to liquid and ultimately to gas.
