This serious
programmatic work depicts a day in the life of a honeybee hive by
drawing on various musical effects throughout. The opening section, Daybreak,
is tranquil and serene, yet intensifies as the hive becomes active.
A flurry of musical activity accompanies the next section, Scouting
for Pollen, as forager bees disperse. Other interesting sections
include Directional Tango, Her Majesty, the Queen, Hungry
Bear (depicting the ransacking of the hive), and New Cycle Begins,
during which several of the previous themes come back in a brilliant
collage of musical sounds and textures. Experience the full gamut of
styles in this brilliant and highly entertaining work!
