A baroque counterpoint piece for harpsichord, violin, viola, and cello — intricate fugal writing evoking a formal garden at dawn. Harpsichord opens with a crisp D minor theme; strings enter in succession through a three-voice fugue, building to a brief stretto climax before a quiet coda. ~7 minutes.

A solo piano nocturne in the Romantic-Impressionist style — sparse opening arpeggios, a wistful lyrical theme, a brief emotional climax, and a quiet fade. Solo piano, ~3.5 minutes.

A sweeping Romantic orchestral piece — strings, woodwinds, and brass tracing the arc of fading light across a highland valley. Opens with solo oboe, builds to a full brass-and-string climax, and closes quietly with solo cello.
