“Don’t dismiss the elements. Water soothes and heals. Air refreshes and revives. Earth grounds and holds. Fire is a burning reminder of our own will and creative power. Swallow their spells. There’s a certain sweet comfort in knowing that you belong to them all.” ― Victoria Erickson
One of the songs that I play for fun on my viola is The Elements. It is a song composed by Richard Meyer (thank God it’s not Newbold). I played a lot of songs by Meyer’s a lot. From; Dragonhunter, Geometric Dances, Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Hemispheres, etc. I love his music, not all the time. The melody is mostly for the first violin section. Unlike Newbold where she gives the section of each string section a chance of the melody. I would prefer in my opinion Newbold over Meyer anytime. I think music is a beautiful thing that mankind has ever created.
Also for all you Avatar, the Last Airbender fans, it reminds me of Team Avatar. Earth representing Toph Beifong, Air representing Aang, Water representing Katara, and Fire representing prince Zuko.
If you haven’t seen Avatar, the Last Airbender, here’s your chance to watch the trailer for it. It’s on Netflix, and Hulu. 10/10 would recommend this show to anyone who has not seen it!!!!

Please listen to The Elements while reading About the Music.
About the Music:
The Elements is broken into 4 sections representing all of the elements. Earth, Air, Water, and Fire. It is challenging to the orchestra, but so worth listening from an audience’s perspective.
