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.

ISBN M720038590. Masada on muinainen linnoitus sijoitettu päälle jättiläinen mesa lähellä kaakkoiskulmassa Dead Sea. Siitä on tullut symboli kansallisen sankaruudesta juutalaisen kansan. "Masada" means stronghold or fortress. Kuningas Herodes Suuri linnoitettu Masada aikana valtakuntansa. 37-4 eKr.. The construction included heave walls as fortification, a system of aqueducts and water cisterns, and two ornate palaces. Kaaduttua Jerusalemin vuonna 70 jKr, juutalainen kiihkoilijat varuskunta Masada johdolla Eleasar ben Jaair kieltäytyi antautua roomalaiset, jotka sitten piirittivät linnoituksen. 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. Savi ramppi rakennettiin huipulle Mesa Hyökkääjien sytyttivät puiset seinät. Eleasar kehotti seuraajiaan ei salli itseään vangiksi roomalaiset. Jälkeen ruokkimaan arvokasta kasvaa tulipalo seinät, arpomalla ja kymmenen miestä valittiin surmata kaikki muut. Kun tämä oli saatu aikaan he kiinnittivät paljon vielä kerran, ja yksi valittiin tappaa yhdeksän muuta ja lopulta ottaa oman henkensä. Seven women and children hid in a water conduit and lived to tell the story of the zealots' pact. Tämä työ on häpeilemättä ohjelmallinen ja pyritään luomaan kuva sekä harras hengellisyyden ja nationalismi kiihkoilijat ja voima ja mahtavuus Rooman. Sekä päähenkilö ja antagonisti löytyvät juutalaisten ja roomalaisten kantoja. 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. Kuten säveltäjä tunnen vetovoimaa kiihkeys ja intohimo kiihkoilijat. He olivat sitoutuneet heidän ajatustensa ja he halusivat palauttaa juutalaiseen hallintaan Israeliin. Silti en voi välttyä ajatukselta, että Flavius ​​Silva oli juuri tekemässä työnsä. 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. Teos päättyy kiihkeä heprean tyyli tanssia ristiriidassa voimakas legioona kuviot. Kuuntelija voi päättää jos voima intohimoa valloittaa tai vallannut. Onko minulla, säveltäjänä, ovat päättäneet, on mielenkiintoinen kysymys. -Ralph Hultgren.
