Now that this movement is compositionally completed, I feel a sense of triumph. Love is the hero.
I've only come up with working lyrics for the choir beginning at 1:02 of the movement; these are obviously far from final from all perspectives; they simply illustrate what I'm aiming for with this movement as far as Weltanschauung goes (any political incorrectitude is due to my using Schiller's words to Beethoven's 9th Symphony as an inspiration). I came up with lyrics for this piece after this demo, so the choir is just vocalizing for now.
"Let's all work together toward a world-loving world and
then we'll all love each other, more than friends we're all brothers.
Let's plan a future where we all join as one then we'll
all know the happiness of bless'd nature's sons."
