The Little Prince

Royal Theatre

An atmosphere of awe is generated in the opening bars of the first movement by shimmering tremolos in the violins. The full orchestra then swells to a ‘proud affirmation of the spirit.’ What follows is a ‘development of fabulous proportions, overwhelming in passion and intensity, alternating between the bitterness of struggle and the intoxication of victory.’
