The creative and destructive power of the elements has inspired composers of all eras to create captivating musical images. In the Four Sea Interludes, Benjamin Britten describes the conditions of the sea, ranging from the peaceful shimmer of dawn to the raging storm. In Frozen in Time, Avner Dorman retraces the geological formation of the continents, while in Heliosis , Hannah Eisendle uses shimmering orchestral sounds to depict the invigorating yet depressing effect of the sun's rays. In Johannes Brahms' Symphony No. 3, who develops increasingly eruptive energies from a three-note motif nucleus, music itself becomes an elemental force.
