These two songs are the last 2 movements of a big song called “Pictures at an exhibition”.  The last 2 movements are played attoca (no stop in between) and are very good for describing the devil and god. The hut on fowl’s legs is a low brass heavy fast song. The bassoon solo is great for depicting the dark, suspicious setting of hell. As that movement ends, the rising runs make me think of shooting up and up above the clouds till Great Gate starts, and we pop into heaven. A lot of thick chord progression in the one, and the ending is indescribable, like God.

The moving High woodwinds displays with great accuracy the chaos she can create.  The low brass theme is great for evil characters too….

Hear It!          1st Mov--Chicane     2nd Mov--Intermezzo     3rd Mov---March

This is a great song also. It starts out with a slow chaconne, which is a sweet low part played by the brass again. It makes me think how kind Bell is to others. It breaks into the 2^nd movement, a fast and exciting movement.  The last part makes me think of royalty or gods right off the bat.

This was a hard one for me to decide. But, eventually, I decided on “Bizarro” by Michael Daugherty. This bright and exciting tune, kinda chaotic, represents easily the chaos and antics created by her robots. And, the piccolo solo makes me think of her whenever I hear it…..

The screaming trumpets remind me of her risqué attitude and actions.
