The Surge

The Surge is a high energy, powerful storm piece that illustrates an unpredictable storm surge, an abnormal rise in seawater level during a storm. The piece begins majestically and slowly, representing the calm breeze before the storm, then escalating. The surge continues as the piece moves toward accented band hits then slows down as the surge depletes, for now. The Meno Mosso section simulates a slow, but false ending to the piece. Unexpectedly, the surge hits fiercely after, then concludes.
