Product Description

Ominous Winds is a haunting and evocative piece designed for emerging bands, set in the key of G minor. This Grade 1 work captures the eerie calm before a devastating storm. The piece opens with the delicate sound of a rainstick, setting an atmospheric tension that suggests the first whispers of an approaching tempest.

Throughout the composition, musicians are encouraged to create a mysterious soundscape by blowing air through their instruments without producing traditional pitches, mimicking the unsettling and ghostly wind that heralds the storm's arrival. The use of dynamics and simple yet effective melodies helps to build a sense of growing unease, leading to a powerful climax that hints at the storm's imminent fury.

Ominous Winds offers young musicians a chance to explore expressive playing and creative sound production, all while telling a compelling story through music
