Weaver's Chant ✦ 10. Light Breaking

V6

[Instrumental, 88 BPM, A major, section 1 of 20, 16 bars: opening on the held E major chord from the last track, the cimbalom strikes it once and the harmony resolves into A major, the first ray of light over the horizon, the cello holding one low A, the darkness breaking] [Instrumental, section 2 of 20, 16 bars: the cimbalom pours shimmering cascading runs in A major with small mallets on metal strings, like sunlight spreading across the horizon, bright and glowing] [Instrumental, section 3 of 20, 16 bars: the solo cello enters with a warm lyrical line in the middle register, joyous and relieved, over the shimmering cimbalom] [Instrumental, section 4 of 20, 16 bars: the breathy pan flute enters bright and sweet with the chant, a repeated note, a leap up a fourth, then a fall by steps that finally lands home on A, completed at last] [Instrumental, section 5 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute and cello begin a dancing duet, trading short joyous phrases, the cimbalom runs sparkling beneath them] [Instrumental, section 6 of 20, 16 bars: the first wave of light, divided violas enter with a warm sustained chord bed spread wide, the duet dancing above it, the glow widening] [Instrumental, section 7 of 20, 16 bars: divided violins enter with a lush romantic sweeping melody in a warm legato, high above the flute, the sky opening] [Instrumental, section 8 of 20, 16 bars: the cimbalom runs cascade in long sparkling arcs, the violins singing, the pan flute and cello still dancing together] [Instrumental, section 9 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute and cello intertwine, one imitating the other a bar later, joyful and playful, the violas lilting beneath] [Instrumental, section 10 of 20, 16 bars: the violins sweep wider, the strings divided into many parts, the second wave of light building, brighter than the first] [Instrumental, section 11 of 20, 16 bars: the second wave, light on water, the cimbalom sparkling in rapid runs, the violins singing in long rising phrases, the duet bright in the center] [Instrumental, section 12 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute and cello dance in sweet parallel thirds, bouncing and bright, the strings holding a wide warm chord] [Instrumental, section 13 of 20, 16 bars: the violins sing the romantic melody higher, the pan flute above them in the upper register, the cello dancing below, bright daylight, relief and beauty] [Instrumental, section 14 of 20, 16 bars: the third wave of light begins, every voice wider and brighter than before, the violas, violins and cimbalom all rising together] [Instrumental, section 15 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute states the chant once more, a repeated note, a leap up a fourth, a fall that lands home on A, joyous and complete, the strings embracing it] [Instrumental, section 16 of 20, 16 bars: the peak, golden warmth, every voice at its widest, the violins singing the melody in a warm legato, the duet dancing in the center, the cimbalom a shimmering curtain, radiant and broad, never a wall of sound] [Instrumental, section 17 of 20, 16 bars: the peak holds, the violins carrying the melody, the flute and cello dancing around it, the cimbalom runs sparkling, the whole sound warm and open] [Instrumental, section 18 of 20, 16 bars: golden afterglow, the cimbalom runs spaced wider apart and the strings holding wide warm chords, the duet still dancing, every voice still present] [Instrumental, section 19 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute and cello in sweet parallel thirds, joyful and tender, the violins and violas holding a wide A major chord] [Instrumental, section 20 of 20, 16 bars: the volume only falls, the strings, cello and cimbalom hold one open A major chord in warm afterglow until the end, ready for the next track] [END]
