| Description: This piece explores different landscapes encountered on an outdoor adventure. Based in A minor, the mood of The Woodland Path is an eager and jaunty 6|8. As the path begins to twist and turn, and the mood becomes increasingly exciting. Our traveler has suddenly encountered an opening along their path that leads to a quiet grove of giant, ancient trees. Now in the new key of e minor, imagine our traveler gazing upward in awe of their surroundings in Ancient Grove, ending in E major. Our traveler then journeys out of the Ancient Grove and into a Rolling Meadow now in b minor. The violin and cello solos echo one another, before joining together in harmony. The melody is more full and lush, with the second violins providing a counter-melody, while the lower strings rise and fall like the hills they are depicting, as our traveler returns to The Woodland Path. |
