Similar to life, *Terra Beata* , arranged by Vanessa Fanning, carries the listener through a series of pleasant and more intense experiences, ending victoriously. Written in the key of C, the melody begins calmly played by the first violins, accompanied by a flowing rhythmic pattern. Later, the violas offer the theme with a slightly more aggressive accompaniment. After moments of peace and tranquility, the pace of life steadily picks up. A fugue-like intensity propels the upper ensemble. The cello and bass sections enter, offering a sense of stability, resolve, and determination, unifying all voices. The ensemble then plays in unison and strength, with hints of previous themes. *Terra Beata* concludes with bold chordal structures to portray a resolute affirmation that, despite the turmoil and trials of life, this is "a beautiful world."
