“Elemental Variations explores theclassical elements in a unique musical setting. The Elemental Theme, firstheard in the clarinet, is developed through various musical techniques as partof a theme and variations. Each variation represents, through both the theme’schanges and the ensemble color, a different classical element. Each elementvariation is assigned a name: Flow of Water, Dance of Earth, Serenity of Air,and March of Fire.
Moving between each of these variations – acting as a refrain in arondo – is the mysterious Ether. The Ether was sometimes referred to as a fifthelement in classical texts and was invisible to every human sense. It wasrationalized, that the Ether must be the invisible space that sound travels through.After it is introduced at the start of the piece, the Ether returns betweenevery variation. It explores the interval of a tri-tone, with each reappearancea different modulation of chords related to each other by a tri-tone interval.The final Ether appearance has the Elemental Theme played within it. Lastly, Elemental Variations ends with a fastand brilliant coda.”
