Notes:
Cloudburst was created by applying sounds and patterns found in nature to
musical instrumentation. The composition is the embodiment of a Texas
summer rain storm. Beginning softly, gently hinting at the impending cloudburst,
the piece builds in intensity, with the thunder and wind swelling, until the notes
virtually explode with “rain”. It then tapers off slowly, until the last droplets fall.
