William on the deck of a busy ship |
| Description: |
Music with rapidly-repeated pitches and fast-moving, bustling textures (woodwinds and muted brass featured prominently) as crowds of people bustle about the deck of the boat; the second part of the tune features chromatically descending lines in a two-part compound melody; the rhythms simplify to fast staccato quarters as a man starts looking in windows; the tempo slows as he finds an open window |
| Analysis: |
Parallel sliding gestures create dissonant polychords; chromatic sequences and metric dissonance add to the instability |
