The first movement, “Allegretto”, is part of a suite of three movements written by Karl Jenkins in 1995 for the string orchestra. It is also the most well-known of the three due to its feature in the De Beers’ “A Diamond is Forever” television commercial for a worldwide campaign. Palladio was inspired by the sixteenth-century Italian architect Andrea Palladio, with elements of mathematical harmony and architecture imbued into the composition.
