Three Movements for Orchestra is an electric work which utilizes many compositional devices such as isorhythm, serialism, cantus firmus, Klangfarbenmelodie, thematic transformation and development, mixed meters, and counterpoint. The contrapuntal emphasis can be easily seen in the first and third movements' resemblance to the passacaglia and fugue, respectively. The second movement combines elements of the outer movements and functions as a rather large interlude or transition between them. The total duration is approximately fifteen minutes.
