Amber Moon [CF:PPS50F]

Amber moons are beautiful and rare full moons, created when the sun is high in the sky and directly opposite the moon. Amber Moonbegins with an opening fanfare, then moves into the first theme based on this fanfare. A second statement of the theme is repeated softly, followed by a lyrical secondary theme in the woodwinds. Variations follow this statement, and cyclically, like the comings and goings of the Moon and Sun, the piece concludes with a return to the initial theme.
