That reminds me--BBC Proms is well worth a listen. They've had this theme and in another year they did Doctor Who.

John Williams (b. 1932) : The Five Sacred Trees,Concerto for bassoon and orchestra (1993)

I. Eó Mugna 00:00-06:55
II. Tortan 06:55-10:45
III. Eó Rossa 10:45-14:50
IV. Craeb Uisnig 14:50-17:45
V. Dathi 17:45-25:55
Performed by Judith LeClair (bassoon) and the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by John Williams.

Commissioned by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.

The Five Sacred Trees

The work is composed of five movements, each representing a tree from ancient Celtic mythology.

Eó Mugna

The first movement of the concerto is Eó Mugna, named after the oak. It opens with a long bassoon solo that lends solemnity to the piece.

Eó Mugna, the great oak, whose roots extend to Connia's Well in the "otherworld," stands guard over what is the source of the River Shannon and the font of all wisdom. The well is probably the source of Mugna and the sacred well.
— John Williams

Tortan

The second movement is Tortan, the tree associated with magic, especially witchcraft. This movement features both the bassoon and the violin.

Tortan is a tree that has been associated with witches, and as a result, the fiddle appears, sawing away as it is conjoined with the music of the bassoon. The Irish bodhrán drum assists.
— John Williams

Eó Rossa

The third movement, Eó Rossa, is named after the yew. This tree had power over destruction and rebirth. It opens with a long harp solo.

The Tree of Ross (or Eó Rosa) is a yew, and although the yew is often referred to as a symbol of death and destruction, The Tree of Ross is often the subject of much rhapsodizing in the literature. It is referred to as "a mother's good," "Diadem of the Angels," and "faggot of the sages." Hence the lyrical character of this movement, wherein the bassoon oncants [sic] and is accompanied by the harp!
— John Williams

Craeb Uisnig

The fourth movement represents Craeb Uisnig, the ash. The ash was typically associated with strife. It is the shortest and least melodic movement.

Craeb Uisnig is an ash and has been described by Robert Graves as a source of strife. Thus, a ghostly battle, where all that is heard as the phantoms struggle is the snapping of twigs on the forest floor.
— John Williams

Dathi

The last movement is Dathi, named after tree that was the muse. The movement is slow and melancholy, featuring the flute as well as the bassoon. There is no gap between movements four and five.

Dathi, which purportedly exercised authority over the poets, and was the last tree to fall, is the subject for the close of the piece. The bassoon soliloquizes as it ponders the secrets of the trees.
— John Williams

John Williams composed The Five Sacred Trees for Judith LeClair, the principal bassoonist of the New York Philharmonic in 1995, to honor the orchestra's 150th anniversary. The first performance was given by LeClair and the New York Philharmonic under Kurt Masur on April 12 of that year. The orchestra consists of three flutes and piccolo, two oboes and English horn, two clarinets and bass clarinet, two bassoons and contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones and tuba, timpani, harp, piano, celesta, and strings. Performance time is approximately 26 minutes. Inspiration for the work also comes from the writings of British poet and novelist Robert Graves.
