A Symphonic Metamorphosis

Summer is the exhibition of a metamorphotic process between themes drawn from the Swedish folk song Små grodorna, sung at midsummer celebrations, and from the composer’s other Swedish Rhapsodies, depicting the different seasons of his exchange year. The piece comes in five main sections, between which the melodies gradually shift and morph from one theme to another, building up to a joyous rendition of the festive song.
