This work comprises of three movements in a traditional fast, slow, fast form, being interrelated yet permissible to be performed separately if desired. The movements are inspired by the 2012 Olympic Games, and derive their titles appropriately.
1.
Carrying the Torch - reflecting the joy of the occasion, the pride of the torch bearers, the anticipation, and well-wishers among the spectators.
2. Contemplation and Concentration - cast as a slow waltz, time for calm reflection and concentration in the minds of the competitors.
3. Going for Gold - full of energy and mounting tension, the final dash to the finishing line, the knockout, the perfect jump, the gold medal!
