In The Fire of Conflict - Christos Hatzis

Gage Patrickjames Kroljic

Conveyed through the medium of marimba and rap, this piece addresses the concern of increasing gun violence. A word from the composer, the piece is also colored by "organized conflicts, such as war, or spontaneous eruption, exacerbated no doubt by food shortages global warming and demographic explosion." The story being told through this work is not from the vantage point of spiritual certainty, but from  the darkness of someone struggle to stay afloat in hopelessness.
