Title NameThe Darkness of Fury
Marketing CopyThe Darkness of Fury is a contemplation of the brutality of war, especially the wars of the Middle East since 1948. Following a brief and violent introduction, a terse chromatic "Fugue from Hell" ensues--demons chasing demons. A romantic transition played by the strings is a fleeting ray of hope for peace. But this is short lived as the Fugue returns bringing the piece to its brutal and violent end.

Program NotesThe Darkness of Fury is a contemplation of the brutality of war, especially the wars of the Middle East (11 wars since 1948). Following a brief and violent introduction, a terse chromatic fugue ensues which I call the "fugue from hell", demons chasing demons. A romantic transition, played by the strings, gives a ray of hope for peace. But this is short lived as the "fugue from hell" returns bringing the piece to its brutal and violent end. The Darkness of Fury is a re-composition of an earlier work (Opening Music).
