ze·nith

ˈzēnəTH/

   2. The point in the sky or celestial sphere directly above an observer.

   3. The time at which something is most powerful or successful.
 

Zenith uses the many timbres of the glockenspiel to paint a melodic picture in the mind of the listener. With the natural sound of the instrument (as well as a few extended techniques including bar dampening and setting a small coin on the bars) the ethereal and mysterious nature of the celestial comes to life.
