'Shadows of the past' is based on a chaconne by Johan
Pachelbel, in fact a theme with variations. The strings
are forming a base upon which the wind-instruments are
playing the variations by Pachelbel and my own
variations alternating. It looks like 'Retrospection
I', based on Sweelinck, also available on this site.
