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.

"Masada" means stronghold or fortress. Kralj Herod Veliki utrjeno Masada v času njegove vladavine. 37-4 BC. The construction included heave walls as fortification, a system of aqueducts and water cisterns, and two ornate palaces. Po padcu Jeruzalema leta 70 n.š. judovski fanatiki garnizije na Masada, ki ga Eleazar ben Jairov vodstvom zavrnil predajo Rimljani, ki so nato oblegati trdnjave. 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. Lončena rampa je bila zgrajena na vrhu Mesa in napadajo sile zažgali lesenih sten. Eleazar opominjal svoje privržence, da ne dovoli, da se jih zajeli Rimljani. Po feed njihova dragocena za vse večje požara na stenah, so med žrebanjem in deset moških so se odločili, da pobiti vse ostale. Ko je bilo tisto, ki so žrebali še enkrat, ena pa je bila izbrana, da bi ubil ostalih devet in končno vzeti življenje. Seven women and children hid in a water conduit and lived to tell the story of the zealots' pact. To delo je brez sramu programski in skuša prikazati tako goreče duhovnost in nacionalizem fanatiki in moč in veličastvo v Rimu. Oba protagonist in antagonist je mogoče najti v judovskih in rimskih položajih. 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. Kot skladatelj sem opozoriti na vnemo in strastjo od fanatikov. So bili predani svojim idealom in bi želeli obnoviti judovsko pravilo v Izraelu. Vendar pa ne morem pomagati, ampak mislim, da Flavius ​​Silva je le opravljal svoje delo. 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. Delo se konča v goreči Hebrew stil plesa v nasprotju z močnimi legije motivih. Poslušalec se lahko odloči, če je moč strasti osvojiti ali osvojil. Ali jaz, kot skladatelj, so se odločili, je zanimivo vprašanje. -Ralph Hultgren.
