This imaginative
work was conceived as the underscore to a fictional fireworks show.
The opening section suggests the massive fireworks bursting in grand
fashion as the music thrives on each explosion, feeding on energy in
a frenzy of excitement. As one final firework explodes to blanket the
sky in lights, the second section begins. This section is very
impressionistic, depicting a stunning laser show with an array of
colors and images. The final section is based on an infectious dance
in 7/8 time. This musical celebration is both driving and playful,
signifying the return of the fireworks. A coda section includes huge
fanfares, forceful rhythms, and metallic sounds that welcome the
grand finale while building to a dramatic conclusion. Absolutely amazing!
