Program Note:
This neo-impressionist concert piece features dramatic alterations between rhythmic urgency and eerie stillness. The memorable third movement depicts in high tessitura the distant ticking of a clock before the fourth movement crashes in, swiftly carrying the listener off into the bustling land of angular rhythm.
