Masada composed by Ralph Hultgren. For concert band. Brolga Music Symphonic Repertoire. Grade 5. Score and set of parts. Duration 11. 10. Published by Brolga Music Publishing Company. BL.BMC034. ISBN M720038590. Masada is an ancient fortress positioned on top of a giant mesa close to the southeast corner of the Dead Sea. It has become a symbol of national heroism for the Jewish nation. "Masada" means stronghold or fortress. King Herod the Great fortified Masada during his reign. 37 - 4 BC. The construction included heave walls as fortification, a system of aqueducts and water cisterns, and two ornate palaces. After the fall of Jerusalem in 70 AD, the Jewish zealots garrison at Masada, led by Eleazar ben Jair, refused to surrender to the Romans who then laid siege to the fortress. The Roman legion X Fretensis, commanded by Flavius Silva and number almost 15 000, took almost two years to subdue the zealot garrison of less than 1 000, including women and children. An earthen ramp was built to the top of the mesa and the attacking forces set fire to the wooden walls. Eleazar exhorted his followers to not allow themselves to be taken prisoner by the Romans. After feed their valuable to the growing fire at the walls, lots were drawn and ten men were chosen to slay all the others. When that had been accomplished they drew lots once more, and one was chosen to kill the other nine and finally take his own life. Seven women and children hid in a water conduit and lived to tell the story of the zealots' pact. This work is unashamedly programmatic and seeks to portray both the fervent spirituality and nationalism of the zealots and the power and majesty of Rome. Both protagonist and antagonist are to be found in the Jewish and Roman positions. Context defines which term best describes either side and the juxtaposition of musical material in this work allows the listener to hear both separately and then joined in combat, as it were. As a composer I am drawn to the fervour and passion of the zealots. They were committed to their ideals and they wanted to restore Jewish rule to Israel. Yet, I cannot help but think that Flavius Silva was just doing his job. He was attempting to subdue a revolt in a small, isolated part of a large empire, an empire to which we can trace back many of our civilisation's social and cultural structures. The work ends in a fervent Hebrew style dance in conflict with the powerful legion motifs. The listener can decide if the power of the passion conquer or are conquered. Whether I, as a composer, have decided, is an interesting question. -Ralph Hultgren.

"Masada" means stronghold or fortress. Král Herodes Veliký opevněný Masada za jeho vlády. 37-4 př.nl. The construction included heave walls as fortification, a system of aqueducts and water cisterns, and two ornate palaces. Po pádu Jeruzaléma v roce 70 nl, židovský fanatici posádka u Masada, vedená Eleazar ben Jair, odmítl vzdát se Římany, kteří pak oblehli pevnost. The Roman legion X Fretensis, commanded by Flavius Silva and number almost 15 000, took almost two years to subdue the zealot garrison of less than 1 000, including women and children. Hliněné rampy byl postaven na vrcholu stolové hory a útočící síly zapálili dřevěné stěny. Eleazar nabádal své stoupence, aby nemohou dovolit být zajat Římany. Po krmení jejich cenné rostoucí ohně na stěnách, spousta byly vypracovány a deset mužů byli vybráni, aby zabil všechny ostatní. Když to bylo dosaženo, že ještě jednou losovali, a jeden byl vybrán, aby zabil dalších devět a konečně vzít svůj vlastní život. Seven women and children hid in a water conduit and lived to tell the story of the zealots' pact. Tato práce je nestydatě programový a snaží se vylíčit jak vroucí spiritualitu a nacionalismus z fanatiků a sílu a majestát Říma. Oba protagonistou a antagonistou se nachází v židovských a římských pozic. Context defines which term best describes either side and the juxtaposition of musical material in this work allows the listener to hear both separately and then joined in combat, as it were. Jako skladatel jsem upozornit na zápal a vášeň pro fanatiky. Oni byli odhodláni své ideály a chtěli obnovit židovské pravidlo v Izraeli. Přesto, nemohu si pomoci, ale myslím, že Flavius ​​Silva byl jen dělá svou práci. He was attempting to subdue a revolt in a small, isolated part of a large empire, an empire to which we can trace back many of our civilisation's social and cultural structures. Práce končí ve vroucí Hebrejština styl tance v rozporu s výkonnými legie motivy. Posluchač může rozhodnout, zda výkon vášeň dobýt nebo podmanil. Ať už jako skladatel, se rozhodl, je zajímavá otázka. -Ralph Hultgren.
