n Elements (Petite Symphony)Brian Balmages.
Four short movements make up this "petite
symphony" constructed in the same form as the
elements of a traditional symphony: Allegro non
troppo; Largo; Scherzo and Allegro vivace. Each
movement also refers to an element of nature.
Movement 1, Air, is light and breathy, made
up mostly of staccato notes. Water, the second
movement, ripples and flows softly and gently.
An homage to Holst's The Planets can be heard in
Earth, the third movement. The piece concludes in
an intense inferno with Fire. A powerful and cleverly
composed piece!
