Work Overview
This surrealistic piece explores the wind blowing through the
swirling gum trees producing an eerie sighing sound which builds
up and subsides along with the progression of the storm. Imagine
a string orchestra playing
highly emotive lyrical parts with the addition of timpani for the
thunder rumbles (eg. bars 1 - 2, left hand) and the claps of
thunder with lightening (eg., sfz bars 19, 30, 33). This piece
needs careful pedal touches, legato pedalling and pedal points
where the thunder is pitted against the sighing swirling gum
trees for dramatic effect.
