Begin with a simple, singular melody line that gradually expands into more complex harmonies, mirroring the "Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three; Three produced All things," subsquent proliferation. Start with open, perfect intervals evolving into richer harmonies. The texture starts in unison, dividing into four parts to represent progression from One to all things.
Incorporate counterpoint to reflect Yin and Yang, with intertwined melodies in a balanced manner. Use a mix of major and minor modes for a serene yet profound sound. Maintain a four-part texture, symbolizing harmony and balance.
Use a reflective, perhaps minor mode to convey themes of being 'orphans,' or virtueless. Introduce dissonances that resolve smoothly, with a momentary return to thinner texture emphasizing vulnerability.
Craft melodies that ascend and then descend, with modal interchange and shifting tonal centers illustrating gain and loss. Culminate in a rich, four-part texture for a final statement of unity and interdependence, possibly ending on an unresolved chord to suggest the ongoing nature of the Tao.
