"This work begins with an explosive introduction with trombones and trumpets depicting flying minions of the underworld in pursuit of the magical butterfly, known as Gossamer.

After a narrow escape the music transitions, sweeping and swelling as Gossamer makes its journey from one magic realm to another. As its wings are charged with powerful energy, they illuminate a vast array of the most luminescent colors. At the end of the work, Hades’ minions finally catch up with Gossamer to once again be denied their prize. Gossamer gets away to live yet another adventure."
