Original pastoral processional for orchestra in F major, 3/2, ♩=90, 32 bars (~2:10). Led by a solo English horn with harp. Form: Intro (1–4) rippling harp arpeggios over soft low strings, two flute bird calls → A (5–12) English horn theme, harp and string pads, half cadence then a perfect cadence → A' (13–20) violins take the theme an octave up while the English horn sings a counterline; A-major chord tilts to D minor, a Lydian G-major chord (B natural) lifts to C, then a borrowed B-flat-minor chord (D–D♭–C) and a timpani roll into the climax → Climax (21–28) tutti: violins, flute 8va and horn 8vb on the theme, half-note processional pulse in cello/bass/bassoon, rolled harp chords, an E-flat (♭VII) colour and a peak on high C over G–C → Coda (29–32) the English horn returns alone, a plagal B-flat-minor sigh, and a final F chord with harp and a soft timpani roll. Flute, English horn, clarinet, bassoon, horn, harp, timpani, violins I/II, viola, cello, contrabass. Four-part voice leading with no parallel fifths/octaves, no crossings, resolved leading tones and chromatic tones, idiomatic ranges. No solo piano or string quartet; no quoted melodies.
