Michael Oare: Cyclone: Concert Band: Score & Parts

The power and intensity of our ever-changing marine environment is portrayed in this descriptive work for young players. Incorporating a simple melodic motif along with syncopated rhythmic energy Michael Oare effectively depictsthe power of natures most violent storms. Opening with a calm yet foreboding introduction the work quickly transforms as the storm draws near. Thundering bass drum rolls driving rhythmic and melodic ostinatos and dynamic andtextural contrasts propel the piece towards a bold and exciting conclusion. (Grade 2) Dur: 2:55
