A single vast symphonic movement on the heat-death of the universe — the final cooling, the last star, the long entropy toward absolute dark. Voss's baritone is the universe contemplating its own ending; the orchestra thins by calculated degrees from blazing fullness to one held, dying tone, the timbre itself becoming the subject.
