Description
Anyone who's ever been locked up and confined to suffering and agony for any period of time knows how much they want out. The tight combination of dynamic mallets and groovy concert percussion will lead the way to the only exit in this ensemble. As if the prisoner just woke up from being thrown into their entrapment, the ensemble immediately starts of in a panic. Throughout the piece, players move from agony and tension to a period of calmness and deep thought. And strategically, with strings, tricks and teamwork, they find their way out to freedom by the end. Or will they...?
