Windsongs 10 ✦ Twilight Whispers

[INTRO: Instrumental, soft kalimba and muted felt piano playing dry glassy ticks like thin slate stone chimes, single notes with open air between them, a soft string bed beneath, D major, 52 bpm, tender and calm] [SECTION A: Instrumental, muted felt piano states a gentle descending phrase, kalimba ticks answering, harp harmonics above, comforting and unhurried] [SECTION B: Instrumental, soft strings join with a descending melody, kalimba ticks continue, a cello adds a warm low line, the evening settling] [BUILD: Wordless solo voice, one soft voice begins humming on ooh vowels only, strings widen gently, harp arpeggios, the melody climbs a little and returns, tender] [APEX: Wordless solo voice, one soft voice sings a gentle ooh melody over strings and piano, kalimba ticks and harp harmonics, the warmest point of the piece, luminous rather than loud] [RELEASE: Wordless solo voice, the voice settles into a hum, strings thin, piano restates the descending phrase, kalimba ticks grow sparser, comforting] [OUTRO: Instrumental, kalimba and muted piano play a last descending phrase over a soft held D in the strings, calm and warm] [END]
