“After The Storm” is a lyrical and pastoral arrangement of a Norteño style waltz I wrote for a different moment in the show.

 

This piece was heard at the top of Act Two, with the opening drum rolls and flute calls being used to call the audience to attention that the play was about to resume.  The instruction from director Bill Brown was to write something with the feeling of the morning after a thunderstorm.
