Cue of the Week: The Storm Breaks
Here's the companion piece to last week's cue. This composition features the same thematic idea as "The Storm Gathers", but presents it in a somewhat less atmospheric and more dramatic context.
The Storm Breaks
This was recorded at the same session in Russia as last week's cue. I wasn't sure about the capabilities of the musicians, and so gave the main thematic statement to the trombones, where I normally might have given it to the horns and put it an octave higher. (Feel free to imagine that as you listen.)
The string accent at the very end is an homage to one of the great contributors to the "storm music" tradition, composer Modest Mussorgky. The only problem is, I can't remember in what piece he used the effect, or whether it was his orchestration or Rimsky-Korsakoff's. Hey, I said I was paying homage, not that I have great memory.
Hope you enjoy the cue! Back to work for me.
