In the Hymne au soleil (Hymn to the sun) the sun is acclaimed in an ecstatic stratifications of chords. The resulting melodic sequences and the changing meters are in a class of their own. To pull off this evocation of blazing light in performance requires confidence in the notes and an alert mind.
