Cloudburst for
Marimba, Timpani, Vibraphone & Bass (or Cello)
Composed by
Christina Rusnak
©Copyright 1997 Christina Rusnak
Rusnak Music Press A BMI Company
Notes Duration: 4:10
Cloudburst was created in 1997, applying sounds and patterns found in nature to musical instrumentation. The composition is the embodiment of a Texas summer rain storm. Beginning softly, gently hinting at the impending cloudburst, the piece builds in intensity, with the thunder and wind swelling, until the notes virtually explode with “rain”. It then tapers off slowly, until the last droplets fall.
- Christina Rusnak 1998
