The composition consists of three movements, each with its own distinct character and mood. The first movement, titled "The Horizon," is a slow and contemplative piece that sets the tone for the entire work. It features a haunting melody played by the strings, which is then echoed by the woodwinds and brass. The movement builds to a climax before fading away into silence. The second movement, titled "The Dream," is a more lively and energetic piece. It features a driving rhythm and a playful melody that is passed around the different sections of the orchestra. The movement is characterized by its use of syncopation and its constantly shifting harmonies. The final movement, titled "The Awakening," is a triumphant and uplifting piece that brings the work to a close. It features a soaring melody played by the brass and strings, which is then joined by the rest of the orchestra. The movement builds to a powerful climax before ending on a quiet and reflective note. Overall, All Dreams Begin with the Horizon is a beautiful and evocative work that showcases Theofanidis' skill as a composer. The piece is characterized by its use of lush harmonies, soaring melodies, and intricate rhythms, and it is sure to captivate audiences with its emotional depth and beauty.
