The theme then crescendos into a violin part accented by staccato and legato phrases from the low strings.
This is succeeded by numerous pieces of the melody played by trombones, an oboe, and the horns, each followed by two beats played by horns and trombones, and trumpets respectively, with the horns having no phrase after they play the melody. The oboe then hints at the main melody while the low voices continue their phrases, followed by a horn phrase. The violins then come in to back the low strings. The piece then turns darker into F minor as the low strings repeat a ten sixteenth note riff and the low brass and woodwinds repeat a march-like phrase. The violins then go into two descending phrases, the second higher in pitch than the first. The horns continue a short section of the melody before climaxing into an emotional and climactic part by the violins and horns. Next, the strings join the harp in playing eleven sets of triplets before the violins commence with the main melody, which was played by the oboe prior to the triplets. After the oboe finishes half of the melody, the strings finish the other half and end the first section. As this strings continues, a solo oboe comes in with the primary melody. The theme starts off with a slow, emotional part performed by the violas, which play long notes, and the harp, which plays repeating triplets.
