This intense piece lives up to its name! Robert W. Smith has incorporated all the power and conflict of the Faulkner novel that inspired the music. A forceful rhythmic motive is set against a lyrical flowing line. Easy but effective syncopation propels the sound forward. This is an ideal choice for strings alone, with percussion, or adding all winds and brass up to full orchestra! Impressive music for contests, openers, or as an encore!
