The feast, and then the long night after it. Mead that never runs dry, tales that grow in the telling, and a hall that finally settles into one song.
Movements six and seven together - the warmest music in the series, easing into the eternal night that closes the whole journey.

The palette is the northern one: harp first, with lyre, rebec, tagelharpa, pan flute and bukkehorn around it, over a frame-drum pulse. Voices are wordless throughout - chant and call, no lyrics in any language.
