The work is prefaced by a a quotation from the third chapter from the book of Eccesiastes -
"To Every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven, a time to be born, a time to dance, a time to love, a time to hate, a time to die, a time to mourn : a time for war, a time for Peace".
The work is a series of variations, each of which is headed by its own "time" from the biblical reference. This is just a great testpiece for band - highly recommended.
