Dark Cloud - Ryan Main

The title of this impressive work is translated from the Cherokee word "oologah." Its inspired by Native American musical influences as well as the imagery of a powerful and dramatic storm that appears suddenly, sweeping viciously across the Midwestern plains. At first brooding on the horizon and later exploding with intensity, Dark Cloud represents the challenges and strife of a people battling the fierce and unpredictable elements in a time before technology.

A very bold theme is contrasted with a staccato woodwind feature that is then followed by a low brass and woodwind lead section. This is dramatic music that students will want to play again and again.
