When Thunder Calls has been composed and designed to make it a very effective way of starting a concert or a second half of a concert and when performed with all the choreography, this piece makes for an exciting addition to any concert repertoire.
‘When Thunder Calls’ was commissioned by Dr Nicholas Childs and the Black Dyke Band for their performance at the Gala Concert of the Swiss Open Championships in September 2011. When composing this piece, I decided to focus on both the music and the stage presentation. The way the piece has been composed and designed makes it a very effective way of starting a concert or a second half of a concert.
