Fête is the “scherzo” movement from the King Arthur Suite, although can also be performed as a stand-alone tone poem (Tone Poem No. 7). This movement tells the story of the first meeting of King Arthur and Guinevere at a feast.
Isle of Avalon (Tone Poem No. 5)
Isle of Avalon is the final movement from the King Arthur Suite, although can also be performed as a stand-alone tone poem (Tone Poem No. 5). This movement tells the story of the mysterious Isle of Avalon from the King Arthur legends.

Whispers at the Gates of Dawn is the first movement from the King Arthur Suite. Originally written as a stand-alone tone poem (Tone Poem No. 4), once I completed Isle of Avalon (Tone Poem No. 5), I knew I had to create an entire suite of related tone poems.
