[Subtle, iridescent sounds of piccolo flute and harp, creating a feeling of the origin of light in the cosmic void. The light, shimmering glissando of celesta]. [Chorus introduction: The male choir intones, powerfully and softly: "Orpheus, Orpheus!" Immediately after, a timpani beat (not thunderous, but deep, resonant) marks the beginning of the anthem.] Орфей, Орфей! Твоя любовь чистА. А песни легкокрылые желАнны. И звуки лиры, ....нежная волна, Что душу очищает, первоздАнны... [The mixed choir (sopranos, altos, tenors, and basses) sings softly and melodiously, with a sense of reverence. The sopranos lead the part] [Solemn chords of brass instruments (trumpets, horns). The timpani beat a rhythmic, marching pattern, symbolizing the "torch from the Sun to the Earth." The strings play wide, ascending passages.] [Wave-like arpeggios of the harp (the sound of the lyre), subtle trills of the flute. Strings (violins, cellos) create a "gentle wave" of sound.] Орфей и Эвридика - Флаг любви! ПослАнник всех Великих Посвящённых, Как факелом.... от Солнца до Земли Воспламеняет всеъ сердца влюблённых. Орфей и Пифагор - ДельфИйский Храм, И Греции божественной ПослАнцы, [The chorus becomes more mysterious, "initiatory". The male part (tenors and basses) comes to the fore]. [Accompaniment: The flute plays a more ornate, almost oriental melody, referring to the "Temple of Delphi". The appearance of low gongs and bells creates a sacred atmosphere.] Летящие с Земли к иным мирам, Волшебных звёзд огни, протуберАнцы. [A synthesizer pad (a synthesizer "explosion" or "splash" effect) is added to the timpani and brass, depicting "protuberance lights." The strings soar upward]. [Bridge / Lyrical Crescendo] Орфей и Гимн поэзии - Исток ГлагОла, сотворяющего сОлнца, И лотоса сияющий цветок, Укрывший тайну всех миров у дОнца. [The choir sings slowly, majestically, with great intensity, like a sacred mantra. Each phrase is spoken with feeling]. [Accompaniment: Wide, "cosmic" buzzing basses (organ or synthesizer). Slow, regal timpani strikes. The flute softly repeats the main theme] Любовь и Флаг Любви, как Храм и Гимн - ВсевЫшним предназначены двоим.. [The composition fades away. The last sounds are the quiet chime of the harp and the ultrasonic "tail" of the flute, fading into silence like the fading light of a distant star.]
