Additional info/contents	The Arden Forest is a central symbol in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" and Philip Wilby's brass band composition "Arden Forest." Wilby's composition, a test piece for the 2025 Swiss Brass Band World Championships, references Shakespeare's "As You Like It" and translates the literary atmosphere of the forest into music. Through timbre, dynamics, and complex harmonies, the forest is portrayed as a vibrant, mystical space that unites tranquility and unrest.
