The Roar of Storms is described by the composer as paraphrased: ‘This is a programmatic work inspired by the writings of Scottish-American naturalist, John Muir, who would frequently write in vivid descriptions about his experiences, what he saw, and what he felt when in nature.’ Matthew drew from some of Muir’s writings as inspiration for this amazing work which is melodic, lyrical, tender, dynamic, and filled with expression and nuance.
