Richard takes the listener and performer on an extended journey through various moods styles in this impressive work for mature ensembles. The stately opening strains gather momentum and intensity leading to a fast paced section which features intertwining solo and small group fragments passed throughout the texture. An overall soaring theme adds a tone of triumph and grandeur throughout, and the final push to the end is both exhilarating and rhythmically dynamic. Dur: 6:50
