Cue of the Week: “The Storm Gathers”
This cue is technically a rerun, as it was originally posted on the earlier version of this blog, way back in fall of 2005. But since most of the readership here has joined since then, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to cheat in this case.
I’ve always had a predilection for the “stormy” school of programmatic orchestral pieces. (I am a big proponent of the rarely-performed original version of Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain, which is far more impassioned and cinematic than the Rimsky-Korsakoff remix we’re all used to hearing.) Here’s one of my stabs at writing in this genre.
