The Unanswered Question is a collage of three distinct layers - strings, flute quartet, and solo trumpet. Each layer has its own tempo and key. Ives himself described the work as a "cosmic landscape" in which the strings represent "the Silences of the Druids—who Know, See and Hear Nothing." The trumpet then asks "The Perennial Question of Existence" and the flutes seek "The Invisible Answer", but abandon it in frustration, so that ultimately the question is answered only by the "Silences".
