The opening with begins with a driving rhythms, almost "rock-like", representing a bloody duel.
The second movement contrasts the first movement with a sweet, blissful melody accompanied with strumming pizzicatos.
The third is broad and cinematic, a journey through the memories of a drowning sheik enticed by a mermaid.
The final a joyful fugue based on African popular music.
Movement 1 Allegro Agitato "Pyrrhic Fight Dance" Movement 2 Tranquil "Blissful Awakening" Movement 3 Moderato "Memories of a Drowning Sheik".Movement 4 Presto "African Fugue" An interesting addition to the professional concert of American new classical music.
