Beautiful ✦ 05. Open Hands

Scandinavian chamber music, minimalist, instrumental

[Instrumental, 80 BPM, 16 bars, the held A from before in the cellos opens up into D major as a plucked concert harp begins a flowing arpeggio of eight notes per bar, D major, warm wooden room]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the harp arpeggio continues, the violas enter on one long warm note every two bars, rounded bowed tone]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the violas play the melody in lush legato, two steps up and a leap up, then fall back to stop one note short of home, the harp continues beneath]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the cellos enter on long warm notes beneath like an embrace, the violas repeat the melody]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the melody is handed from the violas to the cellos and back phrase by phrase, like offering something with open hands, the harp continues]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, a fingerpicked nylon string guitar enters with one warm chord per bar, the violas and cellos continue the melody]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the violins enter high on long legato notes above, the melody in the violas and cellos, the harp and guitar continue]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the first violins take the melody, lush and warm, handed up from the violas, the cellos hold warm low notes]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the strings widen into open chords spanning low to high like open hands, the harp arpeggio continues, the guitar chords continue]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, a breathy flute enters and carries the melody with the violins, air in every note, the violas and cellos hold warm chords]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the melody is handed around in four bar phrases, flute to violin to viola to cello, the harp and guitar continue]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the melody leaps higher, the violins and flute together, the cellos hold warm low notes, the harp arpeggio continues]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the peak, all the strings in lush legato harmony wrapping around like an embrace, harp arpeggios, guitar chords, flute above, radiant and broad, warm wooden room]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the peak continues, the melody in the violins an octave higher, the cellos and violas answering below, the harp and guitar continue]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the cellos and violas play the melody together in warm thirds, the violins hold long notes, the harp continues]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the violins leave, the flute plays the melody, the violas and cellos in warm legato, the harp continues]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the flute leaves, the violas play the melody once more and stop one note short of home, open and given, the cellos beneath]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the cellos leave, the violas hold long notes, one harp arpeggio and one guitar chord per bar]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the guitar leaves, the harp arpeggio thins to every second bar, one long viola note]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, one sustained D major chord in violas and cellos with harp harmonics above, no new notes, the volume only falls until the sound ends naturally]
