A bass pulse starts like a question, and the strings, bells, and clavier answer in slow confusion. The song layers with cello and voice, as if fifty people are trying to solve a puzzle. The break is oboe and flute playing over a clockwork of scales. The second half plays in quizzical staccato, a horn calling and the other instruments answering. As it builds to the end, the bass tones give the impression of an elephant brigade on a long march.
