Monrad-Zavanna (SP)-B/V/Cro./P

Zavanna describes a journey through the percussion instruments' multiple sound possibilities which takes the listener to the great African Savannah from early morning when the wildlife slowly awakens to a roaring wildfire which fuels their stampede. Then the merciful rain puts out the fire. The piece captures the struggle between beauty and cruelty.
