Second movement of Symphony No. 3, Quebec Mosaic. The complete symphony is in four movements:
I. Autumn's Garland
II. Winter's Light
III. Spring Awakening
IV. Summer Festivals
Program Notes:
Primarily textural, this second movement depicts a cool, crisp winter’s day where everything glistens, sounds are muted and seem to disappear into the snow. This lustrous landscape stretches for as far as the eye can see and there is a sense of peace and calm.
(Robert Buckley)
