Void Mariners' Fugue

[Instrumental with wordless vocals] [four voices: classical guitar, steel mandolin, synthesizer, baritone male voice] [Baritone male voice sings wordless melodic lines: lah-di-dah, dah-dah-dah, hm-hm-hm] [voices enter in imitative counterpoint, melodic roles rotate] [no lyrics, no words, no singing text] [no percussion, no rhythm section, no choir] [Subject - solo guitar, percussive strumming] [Answer - synthesizer enters at the fifth in imitative counterpoint, subject continues] [Exposition - steel mandolin and baritone male voice enter, stretto building] [Baritone male voice -vocables] lah-di-dah, dah dit dah, lah dah... [Episode - sequential chromatic imitation, mounting tension] [Development - imitative entries accelerate, harmonic instability] [Stretto - all voices overlapping, exhilarating density] [Climax - rollicking interplay, chromatic convergence] [Final cadence - Picardy third resolution, contented stillness]
