Oboe, piccolo, harp, and bassoon synthesized into a warning against the coming storm. (Admittedly, the picture doesn't have too much to do with it, but it was awfully cute.)

Story behind the song
This song wins the "most likely to get stuck in my head and annoy me because I'm blanking on the lyrics" award for August 2007.
The imagery invokes Iris, the Greek goddess of the rainbow bridge that spans the distance between Olympus and the mortal world. There could be a full story here, someday.

Lyrics
This version of "Frostfire" is instrumental only, but lyrics do exist, as listed below.
----------------------------------------
Take me with you.
I will face the winter wind.
I will watch it blow the leaves.
I will find my own way home.
Don't face the
storm without a rainbow bridge, don't
walk snowblind into the white.
Irises could shield your sight.
There could be rainbows in the frost bite.
Will you listen?
I will face the winter wind, but
If it sweeps you out alone,
You won't find your way back home.
Winter wind,
Change his mind.
Autumn passes at the speed of sorrow.
Whispered words,
change his mind.
Turn him back and give me back tomorrow.
