Take B leans hard into the FULL MELODIC brief by recasting Beneath Sail as a maritime brass-band shanty: a confident muted-brass cornet carries the HORIZON lead where the reference take used a pluck, comped by a felt-piano wardroom upright — a real lead+counter+accompaniment ensemble, not pads with a tune. Fully diatonic G mixolydian; the b7 (F natural) keeps each crest hungry rather than triumphant (no chromaticism). Calm is the becalmed deck, bed only: swellPad cresting like the hull, warm color, sub roots, and a struck waterLap one-shot against the planks. Activity L1 is the brass HORIZON line (G-4: 1-2-3 to a crest on 5, brushing 6, ending open on 2) with a soft-pluck echo; L2 adds a NEW second instrument — the felt-piano counterline answering a fourth below — PLUS a shaker-and-piano accompaniment figure, so layering up assembles the band rather than turning the lead up. Danger L1 is first signs: a ground-swell deepBoom on the bar over a slow kick heartbeat and a darkening pressure pedal; L2 is the storm arrived — a ship's-bell gong tolling against the booms, the heartbeat doubled, and gusting shaker bursts raking the deck, the whole section lifted to 116 BPM. Menace is density, register, and the bell, never harmonic darkening.
