Dvorak's New Word Symphony Part One: 4th Movement fits with the tone of The Bees because of all the up and down in the music, like in The Bees. The tempo changes consently adding more suppenese and layers to the music, like story. The music slowy changes from strong and powerful, to gentle and cheerful, to frighting and a climb to that epic powerful climax. As does the story, we start out with a strange powerful opening, the child's scream, and we left with the image of the child's frozen face, forever screaming his silent lement. A haunting image, like with what Dvorak leaves us with.
The music is a record of the narrator's history, hsi life, and it how goes full circle, the music ends where it began. "He has come full circle, has come exactly to the point when his former life with Mandy and his son DJ had completely fallen aprart (271)." Iit ends where it began, the narrator's life falling apart, the music ending powerfully as he desended into madness.
