approx. length: 11:25 minutes
The interval of the minor third (both rising and falling) is a reoccurring theme used throughout the piece. Also the minor and major 7th chord plays a dominate role (pun intended). The piece has many different melodies as you wander through this expansive Garden. This tone poem emulates a vast and wonderful and perhaps also a magical Garden. What do you hear when you listen?
