Faint Light Rising

{almost empty, fragile opening,

soft breathing room, near-silence}

{tender violin melody, occasional soft piano notes,

faint string

pad,

generous

open space} {gentle rising climax,

restrained orchestral peak, emotional violin swell,

swelling warm strings} {easing back,

thinning arrangement, soft piano and violin fading,

spacious pauses} {soft sustained

piano chord decaying slowly,

quiet

hope and joy, long fade into

silence}
