Program Note:
Taken by Storm is a bombastic barnburner for two saxophones depicting the most
destructive phase of a storm. Originally acting as the second movement of ‘The
Perfect Storm’, a four-movement suite for two saxophones and piano that explores
the evolving stages of a storm’s life cycle, this piece unleashes the storm at its peak.
Marked by relentless rhythms, blazing arpeggios, and a heavy-metal edge, Taken by
Storm captures the mayhem and electricity at the heart of a storm.
