Wind Harp is one long, steady, massive crescendo from start to finish, from almost inaudibly quiet to very, very loud. It starts with everyone playing the same motif, then subtle differences and complexities creep in verse by verse as the volume increases. Three melodies (also of increasing complexity) emerge out of the texture and eventually interweave, like advanced life forms emerging from some primordial soup and interacting. Well that’s one way of looking at it... The title has nothing to do with this. “Wind Harp” refers to the fact that the piece is in the Aeolian mode and starts like the sound of whispering wind (an Aeolian Harp being one that is played by the wind).
