Malek Jandali | Symphony No. 1 | Syrian Symphony | Andante | Movement III

Symphony No. 1 in F Major 'Syrian Symphony' Andante (Movement III) by composer and pianist Malek Jandali (http://MalekJandali.com) founder of Pianos for Peace (http://PianosForPeace.org) The slow movement is marked as an Andante and begins solemnly, rising to a passionate climax. The ambiguous start seems to describe a mother searching for her missing child. The accompanying footsteps are hesitating, but the purposeful melody is determined. The gloomy motif initially presented by clarinets has been viewed by commentators as representing Fate, and it more or less colors the entire movement. The child is miraculously found and the horns and trumpets announce a bright welcome full of expectation.
