About When the Clouds Clear (3 movements):
You Can’t Be Serious! is just as the name implies.
A Difference of Opinion is intended to capture a common human experience: initially believing that all are in accord, but gradually discovering that the points of view of those involved actually differ greatly. Happily, a way to a harmonious resolution is found.
When the Clouds Clear depicts that inner experience of starting out thinking and feeling that one knows where to go and how to get there, then finding that things are not so simple; confusion abounds! It is also about the subsequent journey into clarity.
