Thanks for the upload. The first time I heard this magical score was at a concert in Washington D.C given in the National Gallery of Art. (National S.O.) It was absolutely wonderful and though over 20 years ago still holds vivid memories.

Pretty, reminds me of something 50's or 60's within a film scene of someone wandering or searching by the day and winds passing by normally. The out and about of seeing sky, feeling winds, questioning various viewpoints of bedazzling or simple. It's a two and fro, or low and high, but it encircles from start to finish.
