Description:
With a lone cello and four percussionists; Leisner considers the horror and waste of war - the few who lust for power; the millions who suffer and die. A requiem mass is played by instruments; followed by a gathering of armies; an all-out conflict; and the heart-rending lament of survivors. The percussionists use a wide variety of materials; from vibraphone and marimba to drums; tubular bells; chains; thunder sheet; anvil; whip; and more.
