Product Description
Fire Dance has 3 sections, following an A-B-A or simple ternary form:
1. Furious 2. Contemplative 3. Tempo I
The title of this composition might encourage the listener to conjure up visions of a primitive tribal fire ritual, or possibly an entertaining dance performance with fiery hoops and batons. Both are valid reactions and neither of these interpretations would expect a specific program in the music.
But an environmental theme can be discerned in the composition by interpreting the opening section as depicting a furious wildfire, while the quiet middle section contemplates the scene of devastation left behind in the fires wake with idyllic memories of what it was like before the fire. The final section would recall the fires fury and serve as a warning for the future if something isn't done to combat wildfire-causing climate change.
Fire Dance is scored for solo violin, 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, tuba, bells, timpani, 2 percussion, piano, and strings. Duration 5:00
