These four movements for piano quintet take their titles from T. S. Elliot’s fourth Prelude, evoking in the last few lines something that seems both ancient and prescient. The first movement, The Worlds Revolve, has a melody that actually mimics the rhythm of the first stanza and evokes an ancient tune. Like Ancient Women uses block chords to create a quiet grandeur. Gathering Fuel is a virtuosic flurry, and In Vacant Lots evokes an ancient city, now empty. Duration: 17:00
