Very affecting. Powerful stuff, Mr V.
I love the way it begins with the strings and the other instruments are worked in later. A very sombre piece indeed.
Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph…. Thomas Paine.
