Nice uses of various musical elements to create drama and interest, Thierry. A truly memorable opening theme, sort of 'Bartokian' at times. To my ear, the wordless vocal takes the music away from the realm of being a 'symphony' into the land of 'film music (not that film music is bad, because it is not!)'. However, it does sound nice and there are indeed examples of this in the classical repertoire; I'm perhaps a 'purist'. Nicely constructed throughout, and thanks for decribing the structure of the music.
