Description:

The brass section is formally isolated from the rest of the ensemble, playing “Gates” beyond which lie a series of seven “Realms” depicted by the solo violin, woodwinds, and percussion. This form owes a great deal to Pictures at an Exhibition and Bluebeard’s Castle — Mussorgsky’s promenades and Bartok’s keys become Brass Gates which open to display fantasy worlds, the variegated domains ruled by the solo violin.
