II.     Description

	This movement begins with a percussion start
	to the familiar high-low rhythm found in earlier
	movements, with strings formulating texture as
	choir pads and leads fall into the fray.  The
	sound of New Age powers in on its high tonalities,
	while Aahs provide a lower counter-melody.  Soon
	multiple counter-melodies vie each other for the
	attention and the percussion drops out.  Bass takes
	over as the tempo decreases, but the high melody only
	relinquishes its power temporarily and return to
	the mixture.  A slow pattern travels amongst the
	various instruments and morphs into odd chords and
	a re-emergance of percussion.  Pulses of Soundtrack
	FX spike as Aahs begin their measures of running notes
	as a slow, dark, melody continues.  Portions of the
	original melody return to haunt in the form of the
	Accordion.  All voices break away, the tempo speeds,
	and the original melody takes over with loud
	orchestral hits.  The melody experiments with an
	assortment of keys and the orchestra relaxes.
	Soon all that remains is the percussion and a low
	5ths lead.  Strings bring in a syncopated rhythm
	which finds its way to the Choir Aahs.  The old melody
	will never die, however; the accordion once again
	asserts its prescence in a faster version of the
	original high-low rhythm.  A break for orchestra
	hits - and the original bass counter-melody with
	the Choir Aahs return, also faster.  The instruments
	slip away, but bounce back with a vengance, with
	powerful orchestral hits making its rounds as the
	bass counter-melody.  When the sound gets almost
	too powerful, everything save a few lonely voices
	fade..they share a brief chord, and fade themselves
	to the end.

	One thing to notice is that by the time a thematic style
	is established, the music shifts direction, such
	as cinema/movie score music.  This is common in
	this work, as can be heard in the other movements.
	
	Time:   ~6:00
