V6

[INTRO: Instrumental, the held D from the previous piece, a low warm synth drone and deep cellos sustaining, a single tubular chime tone ringing with long natural resonance, D major, 54 bpm, wide and calm] [SECTION A: Instrumental, cellos state the four note wind phrase, a rising step then a leap up and a gentle fall, low drone beneath, tubular chimes ringing at wide intervals, deep and warm] [SECTION B: Wordless choir enters with bass voices on ooh vowels only, sustained and gentle, cellos continue, harp arpeggios, tubular chimes answering] [BUILD: Wordless choir, tenor and alto voices join on ooh and aah vowels only, strings enter in the middle register, French horn sustains, each layer distinct and clear, the resonance deepening] [APEX: Wordless choir, sopranos enter last on a high sustained aah, cellos carry the wind phrase together with the choir, tubular chimes ringing, drone beneath, every voice distinct, the widest and most resonant moment of the album, luminous rather than loud] [RELEASE: Wordless choir, sopranos then altos drop away, cellos and basses sustain, chimes ringing out naturally, horn warm, the resonance settling like light] [OUTRO: Instrumental, the low drone and one tubular chime tone ringing out over a soft held D major chord in cellos, calm and open] [END]
