A contemplative tone with moments of dissonance and tension, resolving into calm, reflects the disciples' preparedness to face adversity.
Starting somberly and evolving into turbulence, minor keys and chromaticism evoke danger and fear, while a resilient motif represents steadfastness.
An introspective melody through complex harmonies symbolizes the emotional and spiritual sacrifices required, with shifts between introspection and crescendos.
Concluding with uplifting melodies in major tonalities, the music embodies the reassurance and rewards awaiting the faithful, signifying peace and eternal life.
A reflective section that integrates themes from earlier movements, serving as a benediction and leaving a sense of closure and contemplation.
