Swirling skirts, swiveling hips and arms outstretched to heaven fill the stage for this ritualistic celebration of courtship and marriage with African tribal influences. A regal couple in virginal white is juxtaposed with tribesmen and priestesses in vivid shades of pink and teal. The choreography is upheld by George Winston's well known piano score, "Autumn." The ballet ends in a festive finale that combines balletic turns and jumps with sensuous ethnic movement.
