Classical piece for piano, clarinet, viola, cello. It's modern chamber music -- lots of dissonant chords and wildly shifting rhythms, but still with that "classical" feel. Culture yourself a little; try it! The general theme is the Vietnam War, but it focuses more on the despair and inner turmoil kinds of themes, rather than on the violence of war itself. With clarinet and two strings, it's got a smoothly flowing sound overall. Tracks segue awkwardly, but here are a few I liked: 1- Starts out brooding, gets into some fast parts 3- Action-packed, led by piano 7-9 - A busier section with some sweet, high clarinet parts 13-14 - Active, builds to some nice dramatic moments 18- Piano goes nuts 22- Tense string passage 25 - Swirling chaos; check the sheet music inside! | ||
