A sprawling piece meant to evoke visions of a long and winding journey across a broad landscape. It is meant to unobtrusively accompany a scene in a film or play.
This song is divided into four parts represented by the four parts of the day: morning, afternoon, evening and night.
The first part, representing the morning begins with a gentle mix of strings and woodwinds. A melody is played by french horn while trombone and tuba carry the song's rhythm. Later, a harp plays a wandering melody accented by a glockenspiel. Finally, a flute plays a gentle melody accompanied by staccato oboe.
The second part begins at 4:53 where the melody is lead by a regal sounding trumpet followed by a seperate melody by french horn. Finally the two melodies intertwine at 6:54.
At 7:47 the third part of the song begins. Here woodwinds and pizzicato strings lay the foundation for a dancing flute solo.
Finally, 11:21 introduces the final part of the song. Here the orchestra slowly descends into a feeling of quiet reflection. The end of the song gently slows down until the final restful chord.
