The music grows out of near silence with a hesitant, syncopated rhythm in the harp, answered by horns, that keeps returning. The main material (A) comes back as A1, A2 and A3, each after a section (, 1 and 2). In the developments a builds over a timpani (a repeated pattern), with low bells heard only here. In the piccolo, flute, oboe and violin imitate bird calls, and the music dissolves.

Section boundaries in music are not always sharp; a transition may be felt over a pause or a held chord.
