The organ opens, followed by a solitary soprano. They meander briefly before the full choir enters. Whispering is heard in the bass. The choir fades, giving space to the organ’s final chord, reinforced by processed electronics. The choir returns with sharp, sustained chords and a rising triangle.

The meter dissolves. The organ stops. A chaos of glissandi emerges from the last chord. These fragment as the choir sings free lines while striking their chests. After 45 seconds, they fall silent. Only a slow electronic drone remains, then fades into choir fragments.
