DOUGLAS GERBER
Berkshire Storms for Orchestra
Program Notes Most people have heard the saying “If you don’t like the weather in New England, wait a minute.” Driving through the Berkshires one day in Western Massachusetts, I came across such an event when three short but very intense storms hit one after the other. Lightning flashed on either side of the highway, thunder crashed deafeningly all around me, and a torrent of blinding rain flooded the landscape. In between each storm was a very short yet magnificent and unsettling calm that allowed the sun to peek through the clouds to reveal a beautiful blue sky. Berkshire Storms aims to emulate these brief tempests with an uneasy calm between each of them. The blue sky opens up at the end, but the storm has the last say. —Douglas Gerber Instrumentation 2 Flutes (2 Doubles on Piccolo) 2 Oboes 2 Clarinets in Bb 2 Bassoons 4 Horns in F 2 Trumpets in Bb 2 Trombones Bass Trombone Tuba Timpani Percussion: 5 Players Bass Drum Cymbals Tam-tam Triangle Glockenspiel Harp Strings Duration: 4 Minutes Performance Materials Full/study score available for sale (Catalog No. 8421).
