"The Fury of Ukraine," was written backed into a corner by the media.  I felt no choice but to compose my way out of it.  I used CSound mainly, to compose.  Some sounds are generated by Garritan.  To create the third movement, I used an envelope - manipulating attack, release, hold, and sustain - and heavy reverb, to make it sound like a symphonic orchestra.  I misplaced the score, somewhere.  I'd have to venture the archives (dungeon) to find it.  The first and second movement are the same music, just different in medium and presentation.

I. First learned of the Patriot Missiles from my Uncle.  My hope of a missile intercepted another missile was fascination, that I shortly realized
"Wait, countries are going to launch missiles at another country?!"  My uncle would casually state, "Not just one missile, multitudes of missiles."
Luckily, my hope outweighed the fact of the matter: a barrage of missiles were going to launch somewhere, and the enemy did not know about it.
The first movement of "Fury of Ukraine," is an artist's depiction of what that would sound like; no actual footage of sound was used, all sounds
are generated by the artist.  This is an example of aesthetics seeping into the arts, instead of the arts created aesthetics.  What is under all the 
Artemis sounds, is a dispatch conversation, the concern for the artist how war shapes the behavior of our brave police officers.  Though police are granted
the use of mechanical force, and an advantage from the average citizen, but are not to be perceived as a militant force.  That would go against our
constitutional freedom.  Comparable to the sounds I heard on the television, missiles intercepting missiles, the crackling was reminiscent a few 
dimensions from hell letting loose, but the silence in between was the work of miraculous intervention.  My uncle told me to keep the Patriot System a secret
and since, I have saluted each component in its making with great esteem.  I now understood why he was so leery of Russia.

II. Betrayal is a sanguine emotion.  What's worse is how a sense of normalcy stings the soul, mixing emotions into a turmoil.  That if we didn't have
certain parts of the brain, we'd misunderstand the 'impulse' to create violence then and there.  Zelensky, the leader of Ukraine, has considered stepping
down from leadership if it meant helping Ukraine, but that was after his feeling of disgust having to accept a deal, under duress, from the US President over
minerals.  He's becoming more defiant to our leader.  I listen to the second movement watching Zelensky's emotions flitter like a flame much like in the 
music.  You can hear when the deal takes place in the music, and provocative trills send the listener in bewilderment as something happened.  Reality moves
slow at first, and the trill is unrecognizable.  When reality is sped up, the trill can be heard and one is left in bitter extolment.

III. Con Gusto, is a musical step away from the bitter cold politics to a snowy landscape exotic with strings, horns, all built on a fugue.  A fugue is
closer to home to Ukraine than it is to America, as the fugue was invented in Germany.  I'm sure the affluence of Bach is heard stronger in the region
creating a sense of stir.  Con Gusto, is the feeling of energy gained from clarity.  The haste can be heard as each instruments intricately intertwine to a
meaning as a whole.  A fugue demonstrates a whole through its sum of parts, and I imagine a well country comparable to a well oiled machine.

IV.  Chorale March, is a musical language that exceeds this world.  The language is remedied from what Beethoven established in his romantic ideals,
and in the 21st Century all music that has once been created may be further extended as a new, or neo, idea.  Beethoven's romantic ideas are further known
as neoromantic.  The music comes from the big storybook of God, the artist uses as a peek into the future.  The sounds are soothing, and begins with a big sigh.  All sounds are 'cordant to create the greater sense of rational, that order is a necessity in our world to survive.  If you listen to your heart, you
will hear a great deal of happiness echoing through history, that when we work as a whole there is sometimes friction - there is always peace within.  You 
can hear what is bare for the human in the absence of identifying personas, that I am only with my country when I want to be, that I am only who I am when
I want to be, and to simply pause you can feel the love of God and him smiling upon us in our efforts to create something worthy of ourselves.  Though, it is
sometimes a symphony to remind us to pause.
