Symphonic cycle
Okay, imagine that you're listening to a really cool story being read to you. But this story has a lot of different parts and characters with their own storylines. You might start out with one part of the story, then go to another part, then come back to the first part, and so on until you reach the end.
Now, think of a symphonic cycle like a big, musical story with lots of different parts. Just like the story you imagined earlier, a symphonic cycle is made up of several different parts or movements, and each movement has its own unique story to tell.
When a composer writes a symphonic cycle, they are basically creating a big, musical story with different movements that are all connected. Each movement usually has its own unique style and mood, and they are arranged in a sequence that tells a story just like the different parts of a book or story.
The different movements of a symphonic cycle are usually played one after the other, with some pauses in between. This helps to build up the tension and excitement of the story, just like a good storybook does. And when the whole cycle is finished, you feel like you've been on an exciting, musical journey!
