Through The Woods

This tone poem for orchestra is a journey through the woods, but one from a more fantasy-oriented lens. Its various sections contrast with each other and move through a cyclic path or story. It starts and ends with the sun shining through the trees, albeit at opposite ends of the day. The sections are based on a motive introduced at the very beginning, which is the unifying element despite each section being drastically different from the last. 

Sunrise peeks out of the trees Creatures come out to play Deep woods An old cottage Conversations at the fireplace A threat... A meadow Sunset peeks out of the trees
