Product Description

The chariot race, a dramatic event in which drivers in carts are pulled by horse teams, dates back to at least 700BC. This musical depiction begins with a stately procession in which the racers are introduced to the audience (the harmonic progression is based loosely on Pachelbels Canon). As we near the start of the race, the energy intensifies with arpeggiations; requiring dexterity and coordination. A rhythmically charged left-hand ostinato signifies the beginning of the race, and our pulse intensifies. A modulation raising the theme by a half-step signifies the racers maneuvering around a turn in the track. We hit the final lap with a race to the finish line that leaves the performer and audience breathless!
