Additional info/contents	Mt. Vesuvius, the volcano that destroyed Pompeii in A.D. 79, is an icon of power and energy in this work. Originally the composer had in mind a wild and passionate dance such as might have been performed at an ancient Roman Bacchanalia. During the compositional process, he began to envision something more explosive and fiery. With its driving rhythms, exotic modes, and quotations from the "Dies Irae" from the medieval Requiem Mass, it became evident that the "Bacchanalia" he was writing could represent a dance from the final days of the doomed city of Pompeii. Vesuvius is, above all, a furious dance. In order to preserve the work's fiery energy, the players must clearly communicate all indications of stress (e.g., accents, sfz markings). In addition, the tempo must not drag! In the premiere performance, the composer found that the energy could be effectively heightened by playing at an even faster tempo than is marked in the score. The players should keep in mind at all times that this is a dramatic work, both in the loud and quiet passages.
