The High Pavillion

V5.5

[Intro - single sustained pad, oboe-lead enters alone, Phrygian flat second stated early] [Theme A - oboe melody carries flat second tension, sparse piano underneath, plaintive] [Swell - strings and brass layer in, arpeggio joins, harmonic movement widens but flat second remains present] [Climax - full ensemble, oboe melody restated over full warmth, revelation without full resolution] [Release - hold the climax, flat second lingers in the harmony, weight remains] [Outro - strip back to oboe and pad, melody resolves toward tonic but flat second echoes once more before fade]
