Thank-you Nordreise (whose name sounds suspiciously like "northern ice").
Glad it was evocative for you.
It's interesting that the discussion on the purpose of music came up in another thread... I was VERY analytical in the composition of this piece. Despite that approach, my intent was emotional. So I think that may answer part of your question in the other thread: a contemporary composer may have a very analytical (ie: formal) approach to music, but in the hopes of achieving an emotional response from his audience.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
