Work introduction
This duet for double bass and violoncello programmatically depicts sounds and the anguish of war through virtuoso, energetic playing whilst providing for mystical, quiet moments of self reflection asking humanity to ponder, to stop the madness of war and embrace peace. The musicians double their parts with the words "Stop It!" at the end of the work.
