The Battle for Spring

...it arrives.

I get a peculiar image of melting ice. The higher register is like little drops of water and trickles of water coming off shards of melting ice, then when the lower parts come into it its like a collapsing and cracking glacier. Two same processes but on difference size scales.

I'm glad LIW bumped this. Interesting. Quite abstract, but at the same time I suspect it's quite well organised in a formal sense.

Yes it definitely evokes glaciers and melting ice. It reminds me of Geirr Tveitt's 5th piano concerto.

Thanks for listening.  I find intriguing the various imagery people identify with in the music. 

This was meant as somewhat of a commentary on the particularly harsh winter of the past year ... polar vortex and all that yummy stuff.  The oppression of ice and strong-handed grip of cold did not want to go out without one last fight.
