I am walking for Nave, the second movement of the Cathedral Symphony. 

Nave, the second movement of the Cathedral Symphony, is a passacaglia – the majestic opening melody rolling on, like the round Norman arches of Bayeux Cathedral. The melody appears in every instrument of the orchestra at some point, giving it constantly changing colour and texture. The central section is led by a beautiful flute solo, the full orchestra reduced to a few soloists creating mystical beauty in the midst of the orchestral grandeur. In the final section, the big theme spawns a related melody at double speed, giving an extra layer of colour and counterpoint. It ends in triumph, like reaching the end of the nave and approaching the choir.
