Moments Worth Listening For
The way the cello mimics the heavy, rhythmic stomp of the original drum beat in The Rake's Song.
The frantic, escalating tension of the violins during the eight-minute narrative arc of The Mariner's Revenge Song.
The transition from the somber opening to the bright, driving melody of Here I Dreamt I Was an Architect.
