I enjoy how the violins don't overpower the other instruments, especially the bass, it is very clear and easy to hear

Yea, I agree. In most songs, the violins, especially the violin 1's are the most obvious and are the most heard, meanwhile, the audience is usually oblivious to other parts, especially the bass. This piece really brings out the bass in all of the parts of this song, but more on Earth and I love that.

Richard Meyer really went above and beyond with this piece... Every part fits its element *perfectly* Earth sounds structural and commanding Air is free and playful, while also being unpredictable in its melody. The plucking of the strings represents droplets of water, but the rest flows so smooth like a river, or even a waterfall. Meanwhile, fire is intense; fearful, like you're frantically running away from danger that's slowly, yet quickly closing in on you. Everything about this piece is beautiful. Fire is by far my favorite, but damn... All of it is amazing. Props to Mr. Meyer!

I love that the lead in to water is raindrops. One drop, then two, and it swells you into a flowing river

I love how you can clearly hear all parts for each instrument. Many composers try to do this but it is extremely hard to balance out every part equally. with that said, Richard Meyer nailed it. Edit: I JUST GOT A FRICKIN AD BETWEEN WATER AND FIRE.

this peice really shows how genious richard is. its so clear to tell that there are 4 elements being repersented in this peice from earth, air, water, and finally fire. each expressing itself with vibrant and much feeling. what made me feel so much join in this peice is when the third section(water) appeared it started as plucking and very short notes like water dropletts evertually ending up into faster smother bows like longer rain is being poured. truly an unforgetable peice.

The fact that you can actually hear the violas in this

Yeah! My orchestra is playing it right now, not that we’re very good at it, but it’s a pretty enjoyable piece.

I am very excited to turn this into a concert orchestra piece.

Fire sounds so huge it makes me think it's an entire symphony despite just being strings

I love the dies irae melody in fire. It really sets the tone of burning to death.

7:43 probably the most epic part of the piece Edit: coming back , I wrote this comment right after playing the piece in an orchestra, and wanted to hear the real thing. Coming back to this again, I was fingering along with the part I played, and realized that this may be my favorite orchestra piece that I've played yet

BASS!!

I listened to this piece two or three years ago in middle school and thought it was really cool, and now we’re actually going to play it! Im very excited :P second violin here

They may be easy notes, it’s a matter of execution. The strong 5/4 beat of the cellos in Earth can’t be sloppy or the transition of notes in the slurs in any of the parts Water as well, the drops can’t be too strong or weak, but just like the subtle drops in water. Completely agree. They’re definitely the easiest though 😂

Fire was the bomb

I, personally, haven't seen a Richard Meyer piece labeled as anything higher than grade 4, which makes me wonder if that's the highest label he will give. This, Swamp Thang, and Voyagers We, Undaunted are all harder than most grade 4+'s I have seen so far (Perseus, Lyric Metal, Orion and the Scorpion)

Really reminds me of ‘The planets’ by Holst
