From the composer:
Storm is scored for violin ensemble in four parts ranging in level of difficulty (Violin 1: most difficult but still easy beginner level;Violin 4: least difficult) and various percussion including bothpitched and unpitched instruments.
It is divided into four different movements (each 1 to 2 minutesin length) featuring a different type of storm: a monsoon, atornado, a hurricane, and a blizzard.
The piece is meant to teach both about the different storms and how we can convey an ideaof a storm in music.The violin parts will utilize different levels of simple extendedtechniques such as tremolo and sul pont. Similarly, thepercussion parts will provide both a rhythmic foundation andadditional color for the violin ensemble.
