Pursuit voices the idea of its title with the interplay of three themes.  The first begins as a curiously remote melody, a distant voice calling for discovery.  The next comprises a series of tensely focused chords, stealing forward tentatively as if the pursuer hopes for a closer look.  The third launches off in a careening sprint along an uncertain, twisting path, gradually closing in on…something progressively more wondrous and mysterious.  The initial melody periodically interrupts the chase, eventually growing more insistently present, until the roles are reversed and the pursuer is overtaken by the pursued.
