[INTRO: Instrumental, a held D in low strings carried over from the previous piece, a single singing bowl tone ringing and decaying naturally, open air, D major, 58 bpm, wide and calm] [SECTION A: Instrumental, a low string pad begins to build, felt piano plays unhurried sustained chords, singing bowl tones recurring, harp harmonics above, the horizon opening] [SECTION B: Instrumental, French horn sustains a warm chord, a second layer of strings enters in the middle register, bowl tones overlap and blend, soft brass bell tones begin to answer] [BUILD: Instrumental, layers continue to enter one at a time, cellos rise through a long phrase, brass bells ring more often at the midpoint, harp arpeggios, the weather front approaching, crisp and distinct] [APEX: Instrumental, every layer sustaining together on one wide open D major chord, strings horn and bowls ringing as one, brass bells above, luminous rather than loud, the chord the next piece will expand] [RELEASE: Instrumental, layers settle gently, horn and cellos sustain, bowl tones continue, harp arpeggios, poised and expectant] [OUTRO: Instrumental, a held D major chord in strings and horn with a single bowl tone ringing over it, wide and open, carrying forward] [END]
