Harrison Birtwistle Earth Dances

A telluric, primitivist pulse marks Birtwistle’s Earth Dances, with the pagan theatricality inspiring a landmark work on the contemporary music scene. The environmental movements of the 20th century embraced a variety of causes. And God Created Great Whales, by Alan Hovhaness, is a warning about the extinction of these large mammals. An orchestral language that blends with the recorded sounds of these magnificent animals. The kinetic spirit of fire is embodied in a symphony by Haydn. However, the association of the title to the element was not forged by the composer, a Hephaestus of the classical symphony.
