Red Alert (Severe Risk of Terrorist Attack) goes beyond 9/11 to musically explore a dark vision of world-wide apocalyptic destruction. The piece builds in tension and texture and reaches a climax with the sound of an air raid siren hovering over descending overlapping glissandos punctuated by the sounds of explosions. The end is represented by a relentless repeated figure in the timpani and a militaristic figure in the snare drum that crescendos into a deafening wall of sound.<br /> <br /> == Works for Percussion by this Composer ==<br /> {{Cohen, Robert Works}}<br /> <br /> == Reference ==<br /> <br /> [[Category: Percussion Ensemble Works]]<br /> [[Category: Percussion Octet Works]]</div>
