Citadel
Publisher Desc.
For centuries, civilizations have built citadels (walled fortresses) to defend their people from invaders. Some of these, such as Jerusalem, were as big as a city. This work, which draws its strength from pounding quavers, biting chords and rhythmic inflexions, explores the imagery of a strong, passionate yet fiercely protective community. The middle section, featuring quietly bowed tremolos and ominous pizzicato, creates the atmosphere of a still yet edgy night. The main theme returns with even greater strength and resolve which eventually diminishes as the invaders recede.
