There are two main kinds of “uprising” in this piece – a direct exploration of the concept of musical lines rising upwards, with a sense of yearning upward ambition in the lines, and also the idea of a popular or political uprising, a struggle for supremacy, a call to action. In this relentless & breathless orchestral showpiece, every section of the orchestra is in a constant kaleidoscopic whirl of action, which starts energetically and doesn't let up until the very final and abrupt conclusion.
