Storm, for violin ensemble and percussion (2025) 7'30"
Composed by Jessica T. Carter
Curriculum Guide by Diji Kay
Storm is scored for violin ensemble in four parts ranging in level of difficulty (Violin 1: most difficult but still easy beginner level;Violin 4: least difficult) and various percussion including both pitched and unpitched instruments.
It is divided into four different movements (each 1 to 2 minutes in length) featuring a different type of storm: a monsoon, a tornado, a hurricane, and a blizzard.
The piece is meant to teach both about the different storms and how we can convey an ideaof a storm in music.The violin parts will utilize different levels of simple extended techniques such as tremolo and sul pont. Similarly, thepercussion parts will provide both a rhythmic foundation and additional color for the violin ensemble.
