The answer is brook gets louder.

Explanation:

Let's read this excerpt again trying to feel the notion and action changing. In first sentence is stated that both of them sat silently. So, there is no action whatsoever, there is a complete piece on the stage. Contrary, just a few words later, we see Xavier running between the trees shouting about the spring as well as Kenneth jumping on the stage. Suddenly, there is a lot of movement, joy, shouting and running. So now we need to see what announced and helped us prepare for such transition. Here, it was achieved using sound; the sound of the brook getting louder. From complete silence at the beginning, this sound became louder and louder warning us about the notion about to happen.

The answer is brook gets louder.
