JUBILANT & COLORFUL
JUBILANT & COLORFUL, this symphonic fragment is a mini orchestral showcase. The strings begin by stating a harmonic progression, which is repeated several times. With each repetition, a new woodwind melody enters, in effect elaborations of the underlying harmony. The climax is returned to the strings, with brass chords marching along, while a delicate woodwind web is woven in the background. The harp then introduces a mystical phrase which finally yields to the original harmonic pattern.
