As Blume states in the program notes, "This piece is a look back at some of the special times I spent in the woods near my parents? house: a fast-paced game of tag or hide-and-seek; the quiet moments of solitude and reflection; a mysterious, foggy evening; the sun?s rays slicing through the canopy of trees; and making the most of a rainy day."

This piece comes with a full, bound score and includes a CD-ROM containing an audio recording and all individual parts available for printing.
