Hurricane (2021)
This piece was composed to represent different moments of a hurricane. The outflow is when air floats out of the storm. It is a slightly windy period, and I wrote this opening chorale to reflect that. Next is the Rainbands. This is where the rain begins to pour but it still is not super heavy. This section features a series of double/triple lateral permutations that flow over several chords. The next section is the eyewall. This is an extremely dangerous part of a hurricane. It is full of high velocity winds and devastating rain. For this section I decided to write something similar to the rain, but more intense and angry. The next section is the eye which returns back to the opening chorale. It varies in style and is much slower than the first time. The eye is the calm period of the hurricane where everything just stops for a little bit. The very last bar is the storm surge.
This piece is dedicated to Drew Neal, thank you for everything you’ve taught me.
