Tornado is based on sketches from the Royal Norwegian Naval Forces Band (SFMK) Composer Workshop with composition students from The Grieg Aacademy in 2012.
The working title of the piece, "Workshopping", reflects a young composer on"shopping" for new timbres and effects within the range of instruments and opportunities. The piece starts with a wind from afar (trills and tremolos) which then builds up in block harmony and various fragments that are processed across differentkeys and harmonies. Tension between chords and dissonances are then pressed up and develops the character and temperament.
The title,Tornado, is selected on the basis of the energy and build up,something that can be translated with theweather phenomenon Tornado . Whirl- wind speed translates into the notation with fast tempo, tremolos and technical parts.
