The first movement - Scirocco - is a southern wind, transporting hot air and sand from the Sahara Desert. The music has an oriental character due to the slow tempo, the used harmonics and the accompaniment by djembe and tambourine.

The second movement - Tramontana - pictures a strong northern wind, bringing cold air. The music is a quick presto with canonic and fugatic elements.

The third movement - Zephyr - is a western wind bringing a slow melody played by a solo sopramo saxophone.
