Journey

Journey starts in an agitated manner, depicting excitement at the start of the journey. John Dutton then takes us through various themes, some of which are quite short, indicating passing through locations, sometimes more than once, rather than stopping to visit them, as shown by longer themes. At O, the muted augmented chords represent the traveller recalling some of the places already seen, until he or she is brought back to reality at P by the timpani and percussion. From the fifth bar of Q, the mood again becomes hectic, as the traveller reaches a new destination at the end of the composition - or perhaps returns home!

It is suitable for use as a 2^nd section test piece.
