in a symphony dedicated to the majestic lighthouses that guide sailors through treacherous waters, we explore the themes of neglect and the beauty inherent in their diligent service. the first movement opens with a serene melody, symbolizing the return to the beginning, where each lighthouse stands tall against the backdrop of the sea, its light a beacon of hope. as the piece progresses, we delve into the darker harmonies of neglect, capturing the essence of lighthouses left to wither in the absence of care, their pre-existing majesty now shrouded in silence. the third movement offers summaries of their tales, each note a whisper of the past, leading to our final act, a clandestine revelation. in an unexpected crescendo, the music shifts, unveiling the stealthy erosion of their foundations, a metaphor for the hidden decay that threatens to consume them from within, echoing the darker, more malicious forces at play in the neglect of our most steadfast guardians.
