Work Overview
Earth Hour consists of a melodic statement which develops into a quasi-improvisatory feature for the soloist before the reprise. The opening statement is similar to that of the Cello Concerto by Robert Schumann, The feeling generated is that of a light bossa nova beat with rhythmic freedom in the middle section.
