Review: Three Lines from Twenty Poems

Felder's Three Lines from Twenty Poems was excellently crafted and very communicative, opening with quietly descending orchestral sighs in bitonal language followed by a long diatribe of heaving, brass-topped cacophony from which the anguished bursts of trombone sound could be repeatedly heard within the tumultuous orchestral texture. This gradually trailed off to a few plaintive and bare solo cello lines answered by percussive popping sounds.
