Heart of Fire  

Lauren Bernofsky
Grade 3

Inspired by those incredible figures in history whose passion and perseverance are legendary, this bold work is a tribute to those fiery hearts that have left a legacy of a better life for us today. The opening sixteenth note pulse in the strings immediately grasps the audience's attention as the music propels forward. A haunting lyrical melody becomes the focus of the second section, which features solos in both violin parts, viola and cello. A brief transition brings back the aggressive themes from the opening as the work comes to a powerful conclusion!
