programme notes
Después, ***un entramado armónico*** en forma de apacible arpeggiata revive las cenizas de su alma.
OK. So the protagonist of this operetta has been plunged into despair, and now, after darkness and silence, some gentle arpeggios will revive him. Shortly after he becomes a Phoenix, lucky thing. Any suggestions on how to translate this 'harmonic structure' without it looking technical and out of place in the phrase? 'Then, a *** in the form of a gentle arpeggiata revives the ashes of his soul' (???) I'm not coming up with much. Thanks in advance for all suggestions. Brit Eng. :)

Comment: "THANKS everyone. I wanted something that would also not clash too much with the idea of the protagonist being revived, so 'interweaving harmonies' will work well, so points for Edward and thanks to all of you. Very much appreciated, and more so when it's late at night and I'm getting fuzzy brain! :)"
