"The Caramel Ridge" depicts a lot of harsh times in life, beginning with a motif of random-like uncertainty, then going into a place of hurt, anger, sadness, and chaos. The piece slowly rounds out into a familiar motif that comes around again towards the end. The middle of the piece is a slow ballad that represents the rock bottom of life that one may feel. It completes in a deceptive cadence to bring in something that is familiar but also much more lighthearted and happier. This begins the descent of the piece, which ends in a heroic way, and of course on major I! I am excited on how this has turned out! It started as an angry metaphor, turned into a 15-minute piece that was WAY too long, then morphed into what you hear now! I hope that you give it a listen!
