Weaver's Chant ✦ 07. Gathering Tribes

Cinematic orchestral, proud stirring ancient grandeur; large dark hall for the orchestra, close-miked soloists, pan flute and cello centered, strings wide, horns warm; instrumental; breathy pan flute states a bright strong chant over hammered cimbalom cascading arpeggios on metal strings with small mallets and one deep solo cello driving the bass; divided violins and violas sweep bold runs with sharp bow attacks; four French horns play a bold counter melody in open wide voicings; 96 BPM in F sharp minor, rising section by section to a radiant broad middle peak, then thinning back to the trio

[Instrumental, section 2 of 20, 16 bars: the cello enters with a driving bass line, one deep note on every beat, the cimbalom arpeggio steady above it, a rising sense of many travelers drawing near]

[Instrumental, section 3 of 20, 16 bars: the breathy pan flute states the main chant from the first track, a repeated note, a leap up a fourth, then a fall by steps that stops one note short of home, now firm and rhythmic in the center]

[Instrumental, section 4 of 20, 16 bars: divided violas enter with a warm sustained chord bed spread wide, the pan flute chant above them, the cello driving beneath]

[Instrumental, section 5 of 20, 16 bars: divided violins enter high above the flute and play sweeping bold runs with sharp bow attacks, the violas joining the runs, the cimbalom arpeggio steady]

[Instrumental, section 6 of 20, 16 bars: a group of four french horns enters with open wide chords in the middle and low register, bright and proud, one chord on beat one of every bar]

[Instrumental, section 7 of 20, 16 bars: the cimbalom drives steady eighth notes, the cello holds long driving notes, the pan flute chant rising a little higher, the horns on every bar]

[Instrumental, section 8 of 20, 16 bars: the french horns play a bold counter melody against the pan flute, rising and wide, the strings sweeping beneath, the many voices answering one another]

[Instrumental, section 9 of 20, 16 bars: the violins and violas play sweeping runs together in unison, up and down in bold scales, the horns holding the counter melody, the cimbalom and cello locked together]

[Instrumental, section 10 of 20, 16 bars: the cello and the low strings lock a driving pulse, the horns answering the flute in short bold phrases, the strings rising in waves]

[Instrumental, section 11 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute plays a bright strong variation of the chant in the upper register, cutting through the orchestra, never shrill, the horns and strings rising beneath it]

[Instrumental, section 12 of 20, 16 bars: the french horns answer the flute with a bold phrase, the strings sweeping in waves each wider than the last, the cimbalom shimmering, all the voices climbing]

[Instrumental, section 13 of 20, 16 bars: the peak of the first half, the whole orchestra gathered, violins and violas sweeping bold runs, the horns playing the counter melody with open wide chords, the pan flute at its highest bright strong chant in the center, the cimbalom a shimmering curtain, the cello driving, radiant and broad, never a wall of sound]

[Instrumental, section 14 of 20, 16 bars: the peak holds, the horns now carry the chant in F sharp minor and the pan flute floats above them, the strings still sweeping, the cimbalom steady]

[Instrumental, section 15 of 20, 16 bars: the orchestra begins to thin, the violins leave, the violas and horns holding the chord bed, the pan flute and cello still strong]

[Instrumental, section 16 of 20, 16 bars: the violas leave, the horns thin to two, the cimbalom and cello keep the driving pulse, the pan flute chant lower]

[Instrumental, section 17 of 20, 16 bars: one french horn remains, the pan flute states the chant once more, the cimbalom arpeggio and cello pulse steady]

[Instrumental, section 18 of 20, 16 bars: the pan flute speaks its final statement of the chant, the cimbalom returns to the cascading arpeggio from the first track, the cello holding F sharp]

[Instrumental, section 19 of 20, 16 bars: the cimbalom cascade alone with the cello, one note every two beats from the cello]

[Instrumental, section 20 of 20, 16 bars: the volume only falls, the cimbalom and cello ease to one low F sharp and C sharp open fifth, held until the end, ready for the next track]
