[Instrumental, 60 BPM, 16 bars, the bare open fifth of C and G rings on from the last piece, then an extremely close microphone concert grand piano strikes one chord of G major and lets it ring, the wood and pedal mechanics heard, G major] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the chord rings on through the whole section, then the piano strikes a second chord just as the first thins out, one chord every four bars, the felt hammers heard] [Instrumental, 16 bars, a shimmering glassy bowed drone enters and holds the last of each chord's sound, keeping it floating] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the piano strikes its chords one at a time, each left to ring through the space between notes, the drone holding what remains] [Instrumental, 16 bars, high violin harmonics join, catching the ringing overtones of each chord and holding them in the air] [Instrumental, 16 bars, single harp harmonics join, one bell like note between the chords] [Instrumental, 16 bars, a solo cello enters on one long bowed note on E, rounded warm tone, resting beneath the ringing chords] [Instrumental, 16 bars, between the chords the piano plays single notes, two steps up then a leap up, falling to stop one note short of home] [Instrumental, 16 bars, warm violas enter with long bowed notes beneath the ringing chords, the afterglow beginning to warm] [Instrumental, 16 bars, celesta sparks fall, one note every two bars, like the last sparks of a fire] [Instrumental, 16 bars, a warm string section of violins, violas and cellos opens around the ringing chords like a glow, never a wall of sound] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the strings swell as each new chord is struck and ease as it rings on, the drone shimmering above] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the peak, wide and glowing, the afterglow at its widest, the strings warm around the ringing piano chords, the violin harmonics and drone shimmering, all layers sounding] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the peak continues, the piano strikes one last bright chord and lets it ring through the whole section] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the celesta leaves, the string section thins, the piano chords ringing on] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the violins leave, the harp leaves, the cello and violas remain with the drone] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the cello leaves, the violas hold one long note, the piano strikes a chord] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the violas leave, the piano strikes its last chord, and the drone and the violin harmonics catch it and hold it floating] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the piano is gone, only the shimmering glassy drone and the high violin harmonics remain, resting on E] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the volume only falls, a shimmering drone on E rings on alone to the end] [END]
