This fiery piece for String Orchestra depicts the ferocity of an out-of-control blaze. Constantly alternating between 4/4 and 3/4, the melody is passed throughout the orchestra like a fire jumping across an asphalt road. An unrestrained staccato ostinato continues relentlessly under the wildly fluctuating melody, building intensity with crescendos and accented rhythms. Students and audiences alike will be left breathless in the wake of this explosive tour de force.
