Scenes from Grand Lake [Alf:98-B1074]

An ideal festival or concert winner, this exciting single-movement work is divided into five main sections. Very programmatic in nature, this piece features lively, energetic themes and swift changes of mood and style throughout. A slow, lyrical section is included with contrasting material. The intensity builds into a powerful coda which brings the entire work to a dramatic and fitting finale. (6:30)
