Enchanted Encounters

Serene and enchanting orchestral introduction with delicate piano and harp, flowing legato strings and woodwind; glowing mallets at 0:48 add an extra hint of magic before an icy, unsettling change in tone at 1:19 leads into a dizzying and frightening movement with thunderous brass at 1:49; at 2:01 an eerie calm with twinkling mallets, piano and sustained woodwind before unnerving string jitters suggest evil is afoot; 2:23 sees a bright and hopeful finale
