Navigation etc.

Chinese Pinball: I wanted to write something pseudo-Chinese, so basically pentatonic. The picture of a pinball came to mind while composing: I thought some passages sounded like arcade music for a Chinese pinball.

Habanera: I'm no habanera expert but I guess it can be defined as a habanera.

Sackcloth & Ashes: it refers to the ancient Hebrew custom of "wearing a coarse cloth, normally used to make sacks, and dusting oneself with ashes" (dictionary.com), indicating repentance and humility.

A Cunning Plan: inspired by Rowan Atkinson's catchphrase "I've got a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel" in the classic tv series "Blackadder".
