The Trumpet of the Last Judgement

“A very strange thing. Something between a Musical Instrument – a trumpet (thanks to it the tragic Anthem of the Jewish Ghetto could be heard) – and a siege machine at the walls of Jericho. A circus vehicle pushed by a sorrowful Rabbi, the holly trumpet hidden inside – a funereal “emballage” – a bag dropping sounds into an iron bucket.”
