dc.description.abstractElements for Orchestra is a three movement composition developed from a single four-note motive. Each movement explores the dramatic interplay between two themes. The first theme of the first movement, introduced by the cello section, is a lyrical, song-like melody with duple rhythms. The contrasting second theme, introduced by solo flute, has triple rhythms and a playful, dance-like contour. This theme becomes the basis for the melodies of the second movement, a Scherzo in triple time. In order to create compositional unity, both the lyrical theme of the first movement, and the second theme of the Scherzo come together at the climax of the final movement. Thesis, antithesis, and synthesis are the primary concepts which motivate the dramatic shape of Elements for Orchestra.en_US
