Kaleidoscope
1. Flashes
This very short piece is played light and fast giving the impression of flashes of light through a prism. The time signature shifts constantly between 2 and 3.
2. Slow Revolve
In the first 8 bars of this movement, the melody and inner (tenor) voice revolve around subtly shifting harmonies over static semibreves in the bass and alto voices.
3. Colours
This movement consists of a series of short “episodes” which have different rhythmic and harmonic schemes to give the impression of the ever-changing colours of a kaleidoscope.
What is included:
• Title page

Level:
