Night-like sounds are explored in a variety of ways in the three parts of this wide-ranging scene. Ornamental and playful, the piano entwines with the singing voice in the first part. In the recitative-like second part, the grace and grandeur of Seraphim manifestations are derived from the sound of plucked piano strings. The third part is characterized by the death knell: 'voidward from the adoring waste of souls'.
