trombones, tuba, timpani, bells, harp, and strings. Structure The work is held in six movements: Finale The finale is a paean to the sovereignty of Art, a theme common in Scriabin's works. The words were written by Scriabin himself. The mezzo-soprano begins the movement with "O highest symbol of divinity, supreme art and harmony, we bring praise as tribute before you", and the piece concludes with mezzo-soprano, tenor and—finally—the chorus singing "Ruling omnipotently over the earth, you lift man up to do glorious deeds. Come all peoples everywhere to Art. Let us sing its praises." The full translation of the text of the final movement is roughly as follows: O wonderful image of the Divine, Harmony's pure Art! To you we gladly bring Praise of that rapturous feeling. You are life’s bright hope, You are celebration, you are respite, Like a gift you bring to the people Your enchanted visions. In that gloomy and cold hour, When the soul is full of tumult, Man finds in you The spry joy of consolation. Strength, fallen in battle, you Miraculously call to life, In the exhausted and afflicted mind You breed thoughts of a new order. An endless ocean of emotion you Breed in the enraptured heart, And sings the best songs of songs, Your high priest, by you enlivened. On Earth gloriously reigns Your spirit, free and mighty, Man lifted by you Gloriously conducts the greatest feat. Come, all peoples of the world, Let us sing the praises of Art! Glory to Art, Glory forever! References External links Symphonies by Alexander Scriabin Scriabin 1 1900 compositions Compositions in E major
