My personal review:
Through the Rings is a piano piece with a light, cheerful, and brilliant character.
It doesn't have a specific structure, although, broadly speaking, we could establish three large sections, obviously divisible into subsections.
Thus, a first section would be the introduction and presentation of the main theme, with a brilliant and virtuosic character.
A second section, with a calm and reflective melody, contrasts completely with the previous theme. This theme is presented twice: the first with a simple accompaniment, in both the left and right hands, with a "fill" note, and a second time, in which this fill note becomes a full arpeggiated chord.
At the end of this melody, we could determine the beginning of the third section, which slowly recovers the lively and brilliant character of the beginning. Although new motifs and a theme in a pentaphonic scale appear in this section, this theme will be combined with the main theme from the beginning (which is why I decided to include it in this restatement section) before the final, dramatic coda.
The omnipresence of the chromatic scale is striking as a leitmotif that gives unity and coherence to the work.
Marlene Moore based Through the Rings in a poem by Canadian poet Marcia Pasika, who previously wrote this poem inspirated in Moore's music.
