"to know and comprehend the nature or meaning of."

trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding... - Proverbs 3:5-6

Fathom is the third and final movement of the symphony, exploring the profound emotions of loss, grief, and the journey toward understanding and acceptance. The music unfolds as a reflection—one of sorrow, remembrance, and ultimately, peace.

A two-note motif, first introduced by the cello and bassoon, rises and falls like waves of emotion, shaping the movement’s expressive core. As Fathom progresses, echoes of themes from the first two movements reappear, weaving together memories of the past. The introduction of a female chorus—sopranos and altos—adds a deeply human voice to the journey, guiding the listener toward resolution.

In the final moments, the rise-and-fall motif returns one last time—this time heard in reverse, played by the oboe, ascending instead of descending. This transformation signals Jackie’s journey beyond, a musical representation of her ascent into heaven.
