Program Notes
Wind is one of the most elemental forces in nature. This original work musically captures the various forms in which the invisible energy can present itself. Bold melodic lines of powerful fronts, expansive harmonies of gentle breezes, and driving rhythms of intense storms are all represented, climaxing with a dramatic windblown accelerando that propels the work to a resolute conclusion.
