The Jungle (Piccolo Trumpet & String Orchestra) (Taschenpartitur) (Neuheit Trompete) I. DEEP WEAVE II. EMBRACE OF THE RIVER III. THE PRAYER OF THE TOUCAN IV. TEARS AND DEVASTATION V. MOTHER NATURES REVENGE The Work This work is conceived as an intense journey into the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Like a daring and enchanted visitor, the listener ventures through the dense meanders of luxuriant vegetation (The Deep Weave), captivated by its endless intertwining forms, until reaching the banks of the mighty Rio, whose waters seem to protect and embrace the forest (Embrace of the River). Along the way, an encounter with the toucan, the symbolic bird of the Amazon, is inevitable. Austere yet witty, it raises a heartfelt prayer from within the hollow of a giant tree (The Prayer of Toucan). This sorrowful plea is addressed to humankind, the most destructive and ferocious of all creatures. The fourth movement, Tears and Devastation, depicts what mankind leaves behind when these sacred places are violated: sorrow, destruction and a wounded landscape. In the end, nature has the final word. Air, water, earth and fire unite in a triumphant "Latin samba storm" (Mother Natures Revenge), not to destroy, but to heal, rebuild and restore life.
