A dark, intense piece for full orchestra. Structured A-B-A', where the A sections are slow and dramatic, and the B section is a full-blown symphonic fugue. The piece was originally composed to be played in the background to the following spoken voice excerpt from my symphonic monologue, "Vox Nihili: The Complete Edition":
"—Hark!
You hypocrites
Of Holy Writ,
You hermits hud-
Dled into host,
Hist! You snore too
Much. Shut those air-
Holes and open
Wide the windows
To the mind!—Why?
Because it's time—
Time for Tom and
I . . . to both . . . da-
Da-da-dum . . . die!"
