This is one of my favorite pieces in the set.  You play it in a very evocative way.  Marvelous!

Thanks David! I fell in love with the "Woodland Sketches" ages ago, and I have taught various ones to a multitude of students, but really finished working on them myself this past year and recorded them. I think it is such an underrated work. It's just brilliant from beginning to end and embodies my favorite type of music--the story telling kind. Setting this
 music to images was really fun and exciting!
