What a marvelous little interlude that glockenspiel solo in "Taurus 2" is. The only other such piece I know of is in Mozart's The Magic Flute, where the glockenspiel represents Papageno's magic bells; but I have to say that Mike's piece is, for me, far more emotionally wrenching. And the emotion takes a quantum leap when the Irish bagpipes come in... (Now that must be a unique instrument combination in the whole of music!)
