[Instrumental, 60 BPM, 16 bars, the shimmering E drone rings on from the last piece, then a warm low analog drone on A arrives at the edge of hearing and holds, A major] [Instrumental, 16 bars, crystal singing bowls swell and recede once per section like a breath, the A drone steady beneath] [Instrumental, 16 bars, a solo cello enters on one long bowed note on A, rounded warm tone, close microphone, resting on the drone] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the cello plays the melody, two steps up then a leap up, falling to stop one note short of home, a question held open] [Instrumental, 16 bars, a breathy solo flute joins the cello in unison, the two blending so closely it is hard to tell where one ends and the other begins] [Instrumental, 16 bars, single harp harmonics join, one bell like note at a time, the bowls swelling] [Instrumental, 16 bars, a dry bright grand piano enters close and centered, single notes, one at a time, echoing the melody] [Instrumental, 16 bars, warm violas enter with long bowed notes beneath the cello and flute, the first wave of light beginning] [Instrumental, 16 bars, celesta stars fall one note every two bars above the melody] [Instrumental, 16 bars, high violins enter in shimmering harmonics, the second wave, wider and brighter than the first] [Instrumental, 16 bars, a large warm string section opens in long chords beneath the melody, never a wall of sound, the third wave] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the cello and flute carry the melody higher over the strings, each phrase wider than the last, the music leaning toward home] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the peak, radiant and broad, the melody reaches its highest note and falls to stop one note short of home, held for a moment, all layers sounding] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the peak continues, the melody rises one final step and lands home on A, held long, the whole music opening around it like a flower in light] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the melody rests on A and sings on, the strings warm, the bowls and celesta shimmering, total peace] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the celesta leaves, the high violins thin to harmonics, the large string section softens] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the large string section leaves, the violas remain, the cello and flute holding A together] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the piano plays its last single note, the harp harmonics leave, the flute leaves] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the violas leave, the crystal bowls return as at the very beginning, the cello holds A on the drone] [Instrumental, 16 bars, the volume only falls, the cello leaves, one steel tuning fork at 432 Hz is struck once and rings above the held A drone to the end] [END]
