Warzone

Warzone is a collaborative composition by Alexander Singer and Robert McClure. The programmatic content references the horror and chaos of war, the innocence of youth so frequently pushed to the front lines, the bravery of those who give their lives, and the rush of adrenaline and fear that accompanies battle. Air-raid sirens, sounds from helicopters and airplanes, and explosions are all created to place the listener in the thick of combat. The timpani provide a physical manifestation of the mental stages of warfare from the training to the marches and finally to the heart-racing brutality. As emotionally intense as it is virtuosic, Warzone will provide a visceral experience for audiences to witness as well as a challenge for advanced performers.
