What the Forest Taught Me

February 28, 2021

Similar to the Ice Country’s A Wish, this tune is a chorus of flutes, joined briefly by a spritely mallet instrument.  It’s a simple tune that evokes the lush changing seasons of the Upper Land.  The remake is similar with upgraded instrument patches but some awkward ornamentation in the score, though I did like the new bass line. 

Jormungand of Chudah’s Corner had this to say:

[What the Forest Taught Me] is an illusory, capricious woodwind venture of frolicking intervals and harmonic accompaniment seemingly committed to paper on impulse after the tall tale of a child’s imaginary adventure in the woods.”
