The Boy Who Heard Music - Chapter 22
"The Colegno"
The title confuse you? It won't be the only thing in the novel's penultimate chapter.
The Concert For New York takes place in Central Park with many guest bands participating in the realization of Ray's Grid dream. Audience members have their music played for them as it all coalesces into the sound of the ocean. Ray is there to take his bows and yet he is simultaneously watching a representation of the event on the stage at his old studio in Isleworth.
Then Josh grabs a gun from a security guard and shoots Gabriel. Victoria announces that, if Gabriel dies, all the people connected to him through the music will die as well. In this instance, maybe yelling "Fire!" would be safer. In any case, a massive staircase appears, a full-scale version of the staircase from "Trilby's Piano" where Trilby ascended to meet her dead love Hymie. Leila and Josh help Gabriel to the stairs and he ascends, apparently dying.
