Clouds

Art reflects what we see and hear, as well as what we imagine. Music is sonic art. The sequence of sounds we hear spark our interest, imagination, and emotions. This vocal music, with instrumental accompaniment, is meant to represent the wonder of the clouds in the atmosphere above us. The text expresses our understanding of the purpose of clouds, as well as our curiosity about how they form and how they look as we gaze up at the sky. The shift between major and minor keys represents the dynamic nature of the clouds. Sometimes clouds are welcome. Sometimes clouds are a hindrance. Sometimes clouds create dangerous situations. The vocal part may be sung by a soprano or a tenor. Dramatic interpretation is encouraged and welcome, allowing the artists to share their relationship with clouds.
