The opening of this unique work features a gentle and serene theme traded between clarinet oboe and trumpet soloists played over a lush harmonic background. The mood shifts abruptly however as the tirade begins! Apredominant timpani pattern helps propel this section through a series of angular passages driving rhythmic figures a jazz-tinged clarinet solo and ultimately blossoming into a triumphant and glorious conclusion. Dur: 3:30(Grade 3-1/2)
