1. The timpanist will be gliss<strong>in</strong>g between pitches, play<strong>in</strong>g mysterious and <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g random rhythms. Rememberthat “less is more”. At no po<strong>in</strong>t should any <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se effects be overdone. The more subtle <strong>the</strong> better!2. The cymbal player should do slow, long co<strong>in</strong> scrapes across <strong>the</strong> cymbal and <strong>the</strong> Tam. Aga<strong>in</strong>, encourage an<strong>in</strong>terplay <strong>of</strong> sound... not SIMULTANEOUS sounds from <strong>the</strong> percussion, but an <strong>in</strong>terest<strong>in</strong>g, creative“<strong>in</strong>terplay”.3. The Tam player should draw a ros<strong>in</strong>ed bow across <strong>the</strong> edge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Tam. A WALK IN JURASSIC PARKrepresents a good resource for listen<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> potential <strong>of</strong> this improvised section.4. There is sound I hear <strong>in</strong> my imag<strong>in</strong>ation. Let me describe it. Perhaps you and <strong>the</strong> kids can devise <strong>the</strong> actualapparatus given that you have <strong>the</strong> resources. Imag<strong>in</strong>e a spare marimba bar, low... or someth<strong>in</strong>g similar. It issuspended via rubber bands, or some such device over a large c<strong>of</strong>fee can with <strong>the</strong> top and bottom removed.While <strong>the</strong> marimba bar is rolled with s<strong>of</strong>t mallets, it is lowered <strong>in</strong>to water. This sound is <strong>the</strong>n added <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong>texture! Here now, is my humble draw<strong>in</strong>g!MUSICALYour kids can play this piece... well!Congratulations... for when <strong>the</strong>y have fully explored STORMQuest, <strong>the</strong>y’re ready for STORMWorks!In <strong>the</strong> 1980’s I composed a song. It was hailed as be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> new “Send <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Clowns” and <strong>in</strong> fact had generated 10million dollars from <strong>in</strong>vestors who believed <strong>the</strong> song to be <strong>the</strong> central reason for mak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> film. The film for whichit was composed never came to be. For me, <strong>the</strong> wait<strong>in</strong>g goes on.I cont<strong>in</strong>ued to quote this song <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> STORM works. It’s title, “Follow Your Heart” was a message I wanted to share,but only <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> sublime code <strong>of</strong> Music. In <strong>By</strong> <strong>Love</strong> <strong>Compelled</strong>, I have taken that message still fur<strong>the</strong>r, and decided toreveal more <strong>of</strong> this melody, which for whatever reason, may not ever be heard.Follow your heart. This is <strong>the</strong> constant message, a message <strong>of</strong> encouragement and faith. If <strong>the</strong>re is anyth<strong>in</strong>g I canhope for, anyth<strong>in</strong>g I can pray for, it is that somehow, <strong>in</strong> this Music, musicians and audience members alike can f<strong>in</strong>d a“pat-on <strong>the</strong>-back”. Like John says <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> dedication, I hope that those who give <strong>the</strong>mselves to listen<strong>in</strong>g will walkaway ever believ<strong>in</strong>g that Light will always follow <strong>the</strong> darkness.<strong>By</strong> <strong>Love</strong> <strong>Compelled</strong>... <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Hour</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Shadows</strong> is but one part <strong>of</strong> a larger work called STORMQuest... andSTORMQuest is but one part <strong>of</strong> a personal mission called STORMWORKS. With<strong>in</strong> its musical boundary <strong>of</strong> 5:00,musical <strong>the</strong>mes connect it to many <strong>of</strong> its o<strong>the</strong>r parts, where<strong>in</strong> lies <strong>the</strong> greater, s<strong>in</strong>gle message. That message is for youto discover.Godspeed. S<strong>in</strong>cerely,⁄¤‹›
