There are dense clouds. They display many shapes

and colours. These clouds are depicted by the whole

ensemble. When they "clear" away, lighter

formations are revealed. They still have many

shapes and colours (moods, emotions). They are

depicted by solos, duets and trios.



Performance Notes

PHRASES - The curved line is used only sparingly. Where there is no curved line, the music is

continuous. **



STRING PHRASES. Where there

are no curved lines, phrases -for the most part - last

until the 1guration changes. For instance, the

violins have their 1rst phrase from bar 1 - 4. These

bars are all in crotchets. The next phrase begins at

bar 5 and is all in minims etc.



ACCIDENTALS - The usual convention of notating

an accidental once only at the beginning of a bar

has been adhered to. However, there are several

precautionary accidentals, sometimes in brackets.
