Crossroads was written to reflect upon an intersection the composer came across in his own experiences. The bouncing and playful opening alternates and contrasts with the slow and sustained harmonies and the minor mode theme which occur throughout. These elements repeat as to simulate the swirling of ideas in states of contemplation and sometimes stress. Ultimately, one path is chosen, no matter how bittersweet that decision is.
