2st Movement of a 2-part Wind Quartet! This wind quartet reminds me a little of the music in the Legend of Zelda series. I tried to really employ the colors of the different instruments to get a really full sound and exotic images in my head. I personally see a lot of winter imagery in my head, so I called it "Snow is Falling". The dark jazzier section in the middle reminds me a lot of the howling, biting wind of the winter, as well as the solitude of winter, with spring coming forth, represented by the metaphor of the rising of jazz in the composition.

If you take a look at the youtube link, someone left a visual description of this and the first movement (In a Lake) based on the Legend of Zelda! It was really interesting, so I thought I'd post a copy of it here as well:

Beautiful. Makes%uFEFF me wish I could dance Ballet, because listening to it puts in my head a story.\

..a zelda based story. Start out with Zelda and Link together, sitting%uFEFF by a lake in a clearing. (in the first movement) they are talking, dancing, playing, being children. in the background, dancers representing deer and rabbits watch them. (I see the animals around 2 min into the song) around 3:18 things start to get a bit dark something is wrong, the dancers react. 4:00 the animals start to run off stage.

5:00 gannon(dorf) shows up, but hidden from Zelda and Link. around 5:30 she takes Zelda without Link seeing. Begin Second movement. Link looks for Zelda, can't find her. Runs around 'calling' for her. Faerie shows up around 1:10, tells him what happened. They maybe go to a town, ask people if they know what to%uFEFF do... end up at the temple of time. 1:50 changes into old link at 2:30 he enters a forest. There is snow, and monsters. He battles his way through.

he makes it to a dungeon. Enters, and battles his way through. In the music I can see him sneaking through each room, fighting as guards see him. 5:00 is the boss fight.%uFEFF 5:24 boss is dead. 5:33 receive the triforce. (Just what I saw)
