Alas! Babylon’s Final
Sunset is another
installment in my series
of works that musically
comment on the biblical
books of Daniel and
Revelation. The principal
source of inspiration for
this works comes from the
18th chapter of the book
of Revelation. This
chapter states that the
career of Babylon the
Great is finally coming
to an end. The music
begins with a mysterious
pianissimo tremolo
accompanied by tam-tam
and bass drum. The
initial flourishes in the
oboes and English horn
serve as the principal
motive of warning. As the
music continues, there
are varying degrees of
agitation among the
strings and woodwinds.
Throughout the work there
are rhythmic motives in
the brass, percussion,
and various woodwind
instruments that sing and
speak Babylon is Fallen
in triple meter. As the
tutti ensemble arrives at
a climax, the orchestral
texture becomes thinner
and slightly transparent.
As the music continues,
the opening motive
returns in the oboes,
however the counterpoint
produces a series of solo
laments. These passages
are intended to provide
picturesque images of
these words: And the
voice of harpers, and
musicians, and of pipers,
and trumpeters, shall be
heard no more at all in
thee; and no craftsman,
of whatsoever craft he
be, shall be found any
more in thee; and the
sound of a millstone
shall be heard no more at
all in thee; And the
light of a candle shall
shine no more at all in
thee. and the voice of
the bridegroom and of the
bride shall be heard no
more at all in thee: for
thy merchants were the
great men of the earth;
for by thy sorceries were
all nations deceived. And
in her was found the
blood of prophets, and of
saints, and of all that
were slain upon the
earth. Rev. 18:22-24 The
following passages
musically comment on the
historical career of
Babylon with a sense of
her impending
destruction. The series
of laments transforms
into the more emphatic
rhythmic motive Babylon
is Fallen. The orchestral
texture begins to become
more condense, once
again, with the initial
flourishes of, but with
notable variations.
Finally, the celesta,
harp, oboes, English
horn, and strings sing
profundities that are
finally transformed into
a minor mode tonality
that fades away with the
ringing of the tam-tam.
Babylon has finally seen
her last sunset.

Note: A Festive Violet
Pulse opens with lively
textures in the woodwinds
which are used as
accompaniment for a
melodic statement in the
violins. This melody is
answered contrapuntally
by the celli, and
develops into a web of
repeated melodic phrases.
The middle section is
very rhythmic,
highlighting the
percussion section and
making use of many
polyrhtyhms. A soft
tremolo begins to emerge
in the strings and
gradually evolves into
the foreground material.
A repeated note theme
enters in the celli and
is answered sequentially
by each string section. A
strong statement of the
original theme in the
trumpets and violins
climaxes the movement.
