Description:
Journey back to ancient Rome in this powerful string orchestra work depicting the strength of Roman armies through the eyes of a weathered centurion. Set in D minor, the opening statement in violins displays power and strength while rhythmic marching elements drive forward in the low strings. A torrent of energetic triplets push toward a solemn and expressive restatement before launching into one final battle to the end.
