"La Tormenta: The Storm"--Grade One-Two
*La Tormenta (The Storm* is based on the
concept of a developing thunderstorm and its
aftermath. This show starts quietly with dawn
breaking on *A Beautiful Day*. This theme is
bright with a slight western feel. This is followed
in a minor key. This movement has a slight
Spanish feel (to tie in with the Spanish title) and
ends softly*the calm before the storm. Suddenly,
there is *Thunder and Lightning*, a barnburner
section featuring some dark melodies and
dissonant chords, woodwind trills and a short
percussion break. Finally, the storm passes and
we hear *Aftermath and Rainbow* as the skies
open with some bold fanfares. There is a brief
reprise of the *A Beautiful Day* theme and some
big chords. There is an optional *Quiet* ending
where we hear a reprise of the dawn theme, now
at sunset.
