about

A child is born, a mother dies; toy soldiers.

Symphony No. 1 opens with a bold statement of the C Minor tonality, led by the sustained brass chords contrasting with movement through the lower strings and wind. A trumpet fanfare introduces the mother
as she lies poorly, waiting for the birth of her child. A brief flurry of trumpets precedes the great Lord, as he strides triumphantly into the birth chamber to see his son. While a child is born, the mother dies, her
lifeblood staining the sheets on which she has given birth. The Prince is reared mostly by servants, as the Lord has his own life and country to lead. As a young boy, the Prince plays with an elaborate set of toy
soldiers, each finely cast and painted, in his mind hearing the music of war (initially in F Major before modulating to C Major). As the day ends, the soldiers lie abandoned on their fields as the Prince is bathed and placed lovingly in bed by his nurse, singing a soft lullaby to send him to the gentle world of sleep.
