This is very short and fleeting, as around the twelve second mark the harp returns, reclaiming the melodic line. Around eight seconds the piano enters, continuing the dance-like rhythm first featured on the upper voicing of the harp. The piece opens with the soprano choir members singing a drone note in the background. This dancing rhythm is not only the main melody of the piece, but is also what keeps the piece energized and continuously moving. This is heard and supported by the lower harp part, playing a single eighth note on beats: 1, the & of 2, 4, and 5. The grouping of the eighth notes causes the piece to be conducted asymmetrically as the groupings are 3-3-2-2, thus allowing this piece to be conducted in four. This rhythm consists of the double pairing of eighth notes, with a total of five pairs- or ten eighth notes, total. The piece is characterized by a recurring syncopated, dance-like rhythm that is set-up in the beginning seconds of the piece.
The instrumentation consists of a complete strings section- violin, viola, cello, and stringed bass, oboe, clarinet, timpani, piano, organ, harp, and chorus. "Hollow Bastion" is written in the key of B minor and has a time signature of 5/4 time. Regardless of the game, the piece is played at the prestissimo tempo of 180 beats per minute.
