[Instrumental] [Invocation: solemn echo of the established summoning theme; low strings and distant woodwinds; restrained ceremonial pulse; ancient ritual; High Lord Mhoram begins the summoning with grave determination] [Earthpower Awakens: delicate harp emerges within the summoning theme; luminous harp arpeggios and resonant strings; Earthpower gathers around the Lords; mystical, ancient and living; solemn rather than triumphant] [Reaching Between Worlds: summoning theme grows stronger; harp and orchestra intertwine; rising brass beneath shimmering strings; tremendous distance being crossed; mounting urgency; desperate hope; the veil between worlds grows thin] [Contact: sudden expansion into luminous orchestral awe; Covenant is reached; summoning motif and Earthpower motif briefly unite; powerful but fragile connection between two worlds; hope at its brightest] [The Refusal: music turns inward; power remains suspended but forward motion falters; Covenant will not come; conflicted strings and solitary harp; sorrow without anger; compassion and moral necessity; Mhoram understands even as hope fades] [Choice: brief tender statement of the summoning theme; Covenant chooses the suffering child before him over the desperate need of the Land; quiet nobility without triumph; acceptance mixed with grief] [The Veil Closes: sudden sharp orchestral cutoff; violent single dissonant chord; harp phrase severed in mid-motion; the connection between worlds snaps shut instantly] [Left Behind: near-silence; isolated harp notes; sparse low strings; faint fragments of the Earthpower theme; Mhoram and the Lords remain in the Land without Covenant; profound loneliness, weariness and sadness] [Final Reverie: broken fragment of the summoning theme returns very softly but cannot resolve; empty orchestral space; hope diminished but not extinguished] [Silence] [End]
