Heaven Near the Earth
Heaven Near the Earth is a composition by Afonso Alves inspired by the belief that there is a paradise for the soul when the body dies. But as long as we live, it is in our hands to build paradise on earth. The 1st movement is epic with contrasting textures, with the brass section entering into an intense dialogue with the forest. The 2nd movement is quiet, recited, engaging all instruments in colourful sections. The 3rd movement is light and bright, with a melodic ostinato in crescendo until the finale, which creates great tension until the end of the composition. An excellent option for the opening of a concert.
