Description
Dakota Pederson
This intense work recounts a combat manoeuver as soldiers set up a flanking ambush. Opening with a fiery chord, the relentless melody is expressed through precise articulation. The work challenges performers to focus on articulation and expression while giving the percussion section a driving rhythm to maintain the energy. Strong harmonies in the brass and bold melodies throughout make this piece a fierce statement of war and victory.
