Utopia begins with a fanfare, which serves as the “Earth Theme”, and is stylized in western orchestral traditions. This gives way to a joyful celebration in 7-8 time that draws inspiration from Central America, South America, Africa, and Australian aboriginal customs. The “Earth Theme” is sounded again, but is informed by the larger world view. This is interrupted by a sudden shift to a 4/4 dance that combines elements of music from the Middle East, India, and Eastern Europe. This festivity gives way to a peaceful section inspired by the musical customs of Asia. The piece concludes with a joyous fanfare as our parade of humanity comes to a close.
