With sensitive, but practical, percussion writing the opening slow section develops into lush harmonies set in a mixture of contemporary and chorale-like styles reminiscent of this composer’s earlier best- selling Momentations.’’ In contrast, a bright and exciting section follows with all the drama, drive and enthusiasm of that Spears’ style!
