The opening of "Midnight Stirring" highlights the warmth of the lower flutes and reflects a slightly ominous atmosphere. The opening unfolds into a livlier ostinato over which a melody, harmonized with rich 7th chords, is stated. Although primarily melodic, the music incorporate the use of many lively rhythmic grooves and textures. —N.G.
