"Youth Gone, and Beauty" is a contemporary classical composition by Lorri Froggét. The piece was composed in 2018 and premiered on May 5th of the same year at the University of British Columbia's Chan Centre for the Performing Arts. The composition consists of three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement, titled "Youth," is characterized by its energetic and lively tempo. The use of staccato notes and syncopated rhythms creates a sense of urgency and excitement, reflecting the youthful energy of the title. The second movement, titled "Gone," is a slower and more contemplative piece. The use of sustained notes and a more legato style creates a sense of longing and nostalgia. The movement is marked by a sense of loss and reflection, as if looking back on a time that has passed. The final movement, titled "Beauty," is a return to the energetic and lively style of the first movement. However, the use of more complex harmonies and intricate rhythms creates a sense of depth and complexity. The movement is marked by a sense of appreciation for the beauty of life, even in the face of its fleeting nature. Overall, "Youth Gone, and Beauty" is a powerful and emotional composition that explores the themes of youth, loss, and beauty. The use of contrasting movements and styles creates a sense of depth and complexity, while the overall structure of the piece reflects the cyclical nature of life.
