Description
Tone poem/night music/nocturne evoking the moods and thoughts raised by the passage of twilight into deep night. Following a dramatic sunset for full orchestra, the strings suggest evening breezes while the woodwinds softly improvise the song of crickets and frogs. Emerging stars multiply into the immensity of the stellar panoply with its swirling galaxies. The night bird sings his commentary and serenade throughout.
