Tiferet is the harmony that balances Chesed and Gevurah. Setting limits or being too expansive without harmony is a recipe for disaster. Tiferet is the heart. A heart in harmony can balance, set limits and be joyful in a childlike way that is inspiring.

And so this song begins with the remnance of Gevurah, the lovingkindness motif is played over and over until it becomes almost the call of a merry-go-round. And in comes the pizzicato strings, dancing with this motif with the violins singing above this child-like waltz.

When the dance is at it’s peak we hear the underpinnings from the lower strings of the motif for Gevurah dancing with the strings and then a back and forth with the flutes from Chesed. Culminating in a three way dance of Joy.
