Description

AFTER the STORM is a powerful, spiritual amassing of choral and orchestral forces, rendering the Goethe-like message that After the Storm... there will be Light!

From Music originally composed in 1976, themes which have later expanded to become the body of works called STORMWORKS take their beginnings in this work.

Large, romantic forces combine through feelingful chorales, turbulent multi-meter sections and immense tuttis, all building relentlessly to a large Symphonic ending.

Godspeed!

Testimonials

"...His ability to create a mood, find precisely the right touch of drama and create the needed effect was manifest... the sustained chords in the choir, the timpani's roar, the harp's glissandos. Melillo used them all with a sense of absolute rightness and the result was fresh, joyful and exciting... each measure scored with an unerring ear for drama and emotion." -John S. Sweeney, Music Critic
