Interlude Pieces (Williamson)

Movements

Boreas blows across the icy lakes

Notes

Boreas is the god of the winter winds, eerily wailing and wandering around the mountain plateau, down lonely mountain passes and valleys, and over frozen lakes to the snowline and the foothills beyond, to mingle and be comforted by the warmer air of the lowlands. The mood is lyrical and yearning but becomes warm and resolved.
