Perfect for any concert on climate change, celebrating the earth, or showcasing your ensemble for a festival, The Eye of the Hurricane is an impassioned look at the realities of climate change. This work is both stark and passionate ... inventive and embracing tradition. The verses of the song incorporate America, the Beautiful, but in a minor key representing a new, but desperate reality. The integration of a siren adds to the heartwrenching climax of the piece saying, Do something! Do anything! Is anybody listening? It ends with, Your comfort numbs; you choose to live in the eye of the hurricane. This piece will be a powerful addition to any program.
