The work is based on a verse from the tragedy The Trojan Women by Euripides: 'Beneath the wing of the wind, our vanquished country will be extinguished and will perish.' Of central importance is the symbolic terminal breath which illustrates the fall of defeated Troy. The sounds of the percussion instruments, using various brush playing techniques, are reminiscent not only of violence and extinction, but also of lost power and magnificence.
