The Tempest, Symphonic Fantasia after Shakespeare, Op. 18 n°2

About this work

The second section alternates a broadening love song with the return of a more threatening sea. These forces do not remain separate: rhythms from the turmoil cross the lyrical passages and make their eventual calm feel earned.

Locate common notes between chords at the transitions. They often form a quiet bridge while the orchestration changes around them and prevent the episodes from sounding like independent pictures.

For the ending, let the density subside without dropping the tension. Phrase endings need to connect from one section to another; coordinated breathing will make the final calm feel broader.
