Petite Symphony. Composed by Brian Balmages. Concert Band; MakeMusic Cloud. FJH Symphonic Band. Score. Duration 8:30. The FJH Music Company Inc #98-B1437S. Published by The FJH Music Company Inc (AP.98-B1437S).UPC: 241444493656. English.
This medium-length four-movement work is structured in the same form as a traditional symphony (though much shorter) and corresponds with specific elements. Air, the first movement has a minimalistic quality to it and the entire movement develops around a four-note motif. The second movement, Water, is very impressionistic and describes a quiet body of water with a glass-like surface. The third movement, Earth, is a light and playful scherzo that pays homage to Holst's Mercury from The Planets. The final movement, Fire, is aggressive and relentless as dissonance and rhythm become the focus before a wildly powerful fugue ensues. Dramatic and engaging!
