V6

[Instrumental, 120 BPM, C sharp minor, section 1 of 20, 16 bars: opening on the glassy C sharp from the last track, divided violas begin a continuous bouncing sixteenth note ostinato in C sharp minor with short sharp bow strokes, tight and driving, the chase begins] [Instrumental, section 2 of 20, 16 bars: divided violins join the ostinato an octave above, both sections playing the same bouncing sixteenth notes without a break, bright and rushing] [Instrumental, section 3 of 20, 16 bars: the deep solo cello enters with big syncopated hits on the offbeats, short and punchy, the strings racing beneath] [Instrumental, section 4 of 20, 16 bars: a group of four french horns joins the cello with big syncopated stabs, open wide chords on the offbeats, bold and bright] [Instrumental, section 5 of 20, 16 bars: the cimbalom adds sharp metallic offbeat chords with small mallets on metal strings, the ostinato, the cello and horn hits and the cimbalom locked into one rhythm] [Instrumental, section 6 of 20, 16 bars: the breathy pan flute enters with a swirling melody, quick circling spirals that dart up and down like a falcon circling above a canyon] [Instrumental, section 7 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute dives in rapid descending runs with wide leaps, plunging between canyon walls, the strings racing, the horns hitting on the offbeats] [Instrumental, section 8 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute turns erratically, sudden sharp turns and quick trills, darting up and diving again, the cimbalom flurries answering] [Instrumental, section 9 of 20, 16 bars: the chase turns a corner into F sharp minor, the ostinato shifting its pattern, the horns and cello hitting harder, the pan flute still swirling] [Instrumental, section 10 of 20, 16 bars: the ostinato rises by a step on every bar, a climbing sequence, the horn stabs on every offbeat, tension building] [Instrumental, section 11 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute plays its most virtuosic runs, twisting and spiraling at top speed, the cello and horns hitting together beneath] [Instrumental, section 12 of 20, 16 bars: the cello and horns hit on every offbeat, the strings climbing, the cimbalom flurries on the upbeats, the whole chase rising] [Instrumental, section 13 of 20, 16 bars: the peak, the whole orchestra in flight, the strings racing wide, the horns and cello hitting big syncopated chords, the cimbalom flurries, the pan flute at its highest and fastest swirl in the center diving through the canyon, wide and thrilling, never a wall of sound] [Instrumental, section 14 of 20, 16 bars: the peak turns, the pan flute swoops down from the heights in one long descending dive, the strings steady, the horns hitting once per bar] [Instrumental, section 15 of 20, 16 bars: the violins leave, the violas keep the sixteenth note ostinato, the cello and horns still hitting, the pan flute gliding] [Instrumental, section 16 of 20, 16 bars: the horns leave, the cello keeps hitting the offbeats, the violas racing, the cimbalom flurries thinning] [Instrumental, section 17 of 20, 16 bars: the ostinato eases to eighth notes, the pan flute swirling in wide circles, the chase winding down] [Instrumental, section 18 of 20, 16 bars: the ostinato eases to quarter notes, the pan flute plays one last swirl and lands, one horn stab on the offbeat] [Instrumental, section 19 of 20, 16 bars: the cimbalom and cello alone, one note every two beats, the harmony leaning toward E] [Instrumental, section 20 of 20, 16 bars: the volume only falls, the violas and cello hold one soft E major chord until the end, leaning toward A major, ready for the next track] [END]
