A low thrum, the subdued beating of drums, and a rattling tambourine are joined by the journeying notes of a flute, swell of strings, percussive chanting of voices, and solemn hurdy-gurdy. The melody marches forward, growing in power, before briefly slowing into a more contemplative tempo. The mood is determined and dark with a sense of quiet sorrow, suggesting a life of hardship, isolation, and endless wandering through an unforgiving world.
