Maelstrom
for Clarinet Choir
Premiered on 6/06/2020 by Jason Nippert.
Program Note
The sea churns violently, waves colliding in a furious, unrelenting spiral that swallows everything in its path. Wind and water intertwine in chaos, dragging ships into the abyss and shattering even the strongest foundations. There is no reasoning with the storm, no path to safety—only the desperate struggle to stay afloat as the world twists and crashes around it. And then, just as suddenly as it began, the maelstrom releases its grip, leaving only silence and the wreckage it has claimed.
Premiered by Mr. Matthew Zuehlke and the Karrer Middle School 6th Grade Band
