In what can be described as Game of Thrones meets thunderous Brahms, this tour de force for advanced string orchestra features a driving theme set in 12/8 meter. The lyrical middle section features cello and bass soli with delicate harmonics and a lush, sweeping countermelody in upper voices before returning to the opening theme for an aggressive ride to a victorious finale. Lush textures, gorgeous harmonies, and powerful motifs offer the ambitious orchestra an unforgettable adventure, both challenging and immensely rewarding.
