Caedis  Suite V - Agentes Caedis

The finale is a high-energy collision of worlds. We start with the driving strings and distinct textures of Vivaldi, building momentum until the piece transforms into the jazz-inflected harmonies and rhythms of Gershwin. It features big orchestration and technical piano work, bringing the concerto to a fitting, exuberant close.
