Three miniatures, inspired by the sand. In Desert Dance, the colorful sand of Makhtesh Ramon rises from the silence of the desert for an imaginary dance, in honor of the breathtaking beauty of the place. The second movement, Into the Sea, follows a barefoot walk, from the hot sand of the beach into the Mediterranean Sea, to a point where one can barely touch the ground. And last, Hiking, which corresponds with Desert Dance in some musical aspects, is inspired by the mountains of Jerusalem in a sunny Saturday. The ensemble can choose which of these two movements opens the piece, and which one ends it.
