-Overture/Chorus
-Large orchestra and women's chorus

-interaction of colors, light and dark
-not focused on melody
A: starts right away with theme, whimsical, soft, harp, winds, lacks direction, tonality not really used, mixture of major and minor

A: similar to beginning
Coda: some low brass, triangle
