Indignation is bold, brash composition intended to convey a sense of turmoil and ire. Spirited melodies and driving syncopations characterize the fast portions of the piece, while the slow middle section provides moments of lyricism, introspection, and calm. As the piece unfolds, repeated rhythmic patterns take on a percussive quality and ultimately propel the music to its assertive finale.
