This imaginative work was conceived as the underscore to a fictional fireworks show.  The opening section suggests the massive fireworks bursting in grand fashion as the music thrives on each explosion, feeding its energy in a frenzy of excitement.  As one final firework explodes to blanket the sky in lights, the second section begins.  This section is very impressionistic, depicting a stunning laser show with an array of colors and images.  The final section is based on an infectious dance in 7/8 time.  This musical celebration is both driving and playful, signifying the return of the fireworks.  A coda section includes huge fanfares, forceful rhythms, and metallic sounds that welcome the grand finale while building to a dramatic conclusion.  Absolutely amazing!
