The introduction intersperses dramatic .ashes of light and the resulting shimmer (via the echo technique) with phrases of the chant. The chant is treated in its entirety at measure 19, and then antiphonally at measure 27 with its inversion (light reflected).

The piece ends with a return to the opening .ashes of light, this time the shimmering sixteenth-notes being more pronounced.
