This exciting and fanciful symphonic movement depicts the eager enthusiasm and hopeful optimism felt by Ponce De Leon and his crew in the early days of that famous quest through Florida's uncharted wetlands, swamp regions, and coasts, to find the legendary "Fountain of Youth" and the "Seven Cities of Gold"! The familiar and exotic Spanish harmonies and rhythms help to evoke the romantic image of this epic journey.
