The piano then goes back to piano by bar 42. The strings then also have a crescendo eventually reaching fortissimo in bar 60 as the climax of the piece to release the tension created by the previously quiet and tension building dynamics.

This create an atmosphere of sorrow in this cue.

This shows that Portman wants to take us back to the late baroque period when composer like Bach and Handel existed. 4 bar phrase melody are very common feature in the baroque period. This create an atmosphere of that era and sort of showing us this movie is in the 1700s.
