A brass sextet which has a gentle motion to it (much like a barcarolle) presents the melody in the middle voices adding more harmonic richness as it proceeds until the upper voices take over the bulk of the thematic material- all the while continuing with the pulsing patterns in the accompaniment. The next section is carried by the inner voices once again while the out voices added tension and impact. The middle section is slower and more plaintive fashion which has supportive material that weaves in and out until it comes to a climatic point. It gradually retreats until it reaches a sense of calm and solitude. (Opt trp for horn and BHTC for Trm 2)
