[Instrumental, 16 bars, a low breathy bass flute enters on one long note every two bars with air in every note, the guitar roll continues]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the bass flute plays the melody, two steps up and a leap up, then falls back to stop one note short of home, staying in its low register, the guitar roll continues]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, a warm low clarinet enters in its lowest register on long notes beneath the flute melody]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, a cello enters on one long low note every two bars, earthy rounded bowed tone]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, a viola joins on long notes, the melody in the clarinet, the guitar roll continues]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the flute and clarinet play the melody together in unison, the cello and viola hold long notes]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the strings widen into one warm chord every two bars, the melody stays in the low register and never climbs, the guitar roll continues]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the violas and cellos play the melody together in warm unison, the flute and clarinet hold long notes above]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the melody leaps a little higher than before and still stays in the middle register, flute and clarinet in warm thirds, the guitar roll continues]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the crest, strings, woodwinds and guitar together in the low and middle registers, warm and broad, the highest note never above the middle register, humble and unadorned, warm wooden room]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the crest continues, the cello carries the melody in its warm middle register, flute and clarinet hold long notes, the guitar roll continues]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the flute and clarinet trade phrases over the strings, the guitar roll continues, the room warm and open]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the viola leaves, the flute and clarinet carry the melody over the cello and the guitar roll]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the cello leaves, the clarinet plays the melody once more and stops one note short of home, low and plain over the guitar roll]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the flute leaves, the clarinet and the guitar roll alone]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the clarinet holds one long low note, the guitar roll thins to every second bar]

[Instrumental, 16 bars, the guitar roll ends, one held A in the cello and low flute with one plucked guitar harmonic above, no new notes, the volume only falls until the sound ends naturally]
