Abstract:
The Earth began about 4,500 million years ago. Scientists divide its immense history into huge time spans called eras. The Precambrian Era came first, lasting until 540 million years ago. Living things were tiny and simple, found only in the sea. Next came the Palaeozoic Era, or "Ancient Life," from 540 to 250 million years ago. The Mesozoic Era, or "Middle Life," lasted from 250 to 65 million years ago. Dinosaurs first came into existence near its beginning and died out at its end. So the Mesozoic Era is broadly the "Age of Dinosaurs." It's split into three smaller time spans - The Triassic Period, the Jurassic Period, and the Cretaceous Period. Different kinds of dinosaurs came and went through all these times. Some small mammals, and later the first birds, joined them. But dinosaurs ruled the land for more than 150 million years. Mesozoic Symphony is the Symphonic Poem in three movements. It is composed for a symphony orchestra of moderate size with a narrator. The Symphonic Poem, Mesozoic Symphony is presented with art and beauty in contemporary way, along with descriptive story of the dinosaurs. The main character of the Mesozoic Symphony in the usage of tone color, music textures and motivic development depicting for the evolution of the dinosaurs. In general, the use of polytonality and tone cluster in the symphonic poem has created the Mesozoic Era atmosphere, climate changes, environmental changes and evolution of the dinosaurs.
