Description
Gli Elementi (The Elements) is a substantial and challenging suite by Jean Balissat that musically depicts the four classical elements: Earth, Water, Air, and Fire. The work is unique for its extensive and prominent featuring of the Percussion section, with each movement utilizing different instrumental colors to reflect the character of the elements. From the grounded rhythms of Earth to the volatile energy of Fire, it is a tour de force for the entire band. It is a major contemporary work that is both a technical challenge and a sonic spectacular.
