Elixir: For String OrchestraSet of parts

by Allen Shawn (Composer)

for string orchestra
The work presents two contrasting moods in alternation. It begins with brooding, lyrical music that gradually picks up strength and intensity, bursting out into a fast tempo with contrapuntal ideas that have an athletic character. The two types of music both stem from the same musical
materials.
