Suite in three movements : duration 10.37 1. Molto moderato e un poco maestoso 2. Interlude, Andante esprissivo 3. Scherzo - Finale. Allegro vivace e lergeramente.
First Movement : In God’s fresh air, under the open sky, we stretch our arms to the great spaces, breathing the winds and contemplating the gentle sweetness of Nature itself. This is Freedom.
Second Movement : And then, the quiet interlude of Romance, the trees, the meadows, the scent of the flowers, the little drifting clouds, and — Love, This, too, is Freedom.
Third Movement ; And then, again, that other insuperable gift of Laughter, fresh and light as the salt sea breezes over the hilltops which have fluttered their songs across the laughing waves. This is Joy, Love, Vigour, and— This, also, is Freedom.
