Juggernaut
Rob Smith
About this work:
A juggernaut is defined as any large, relentless and destructive force, which the extremely intense and aggressive opening material of this work serves to characterize. This material eventually self-destructs, and in the wake of this ‘juggernaut’ an uplifting lyric passage, which has attempted to assert itself earlier without total success, is finally fully realized and concludes the work. Juggernaut was commissioned by Jeremy Justeson, and is the title track for his debut CD which features the works of American composers. It will soon be released by the Equilibrium label and distributed nationally by Albany Music. – R.S.
