You never know . . .
This is a repost of a poem I did in 2014 -- it was part of a duet with Mystic Rose who wrote the winter storm part. I was contacted a while back from a composer who asked if he could use the summer storm. I said yes. Just heard back from him . . .
"Hi David, I wanted to let you know about my setting of "Summer Storm." It is part of a work for chorus, orchestra and soprano soloist entitled "The Wind." It commemorates the 10th anniversary of the destruction of Enterprise High School in Alabama by a tornado. It has six movements, of which your poem provides the text for the second. It will be premiered in Carnegie Hall on Monday March 27.

From the News: "A massive tornado tore through Enterprise, Alabama, on March 1, 2007, leaving a swath of devastation about 180 meters (200 yards) wide through the small city. In the center of the storm’s path was Enterprise High School, where students sheltered in hallways as the tornado struck. The tornado ripped the roof off parts of the school, destroyed a hallway, the gym, and the stadium, said ABC News. By March 2, eight students were confirmed dead."
Keep writing friends . . . you never know how your words may impact another.
Love and live generously.
