The turbulence and intensity of a major wind storm is effectively recreated in Richard Saucedo's Of Gale Force Winds. Based around rhythmic figures that create a wind-like effect, and combined with a playful melody, the piece alternates between 6/8 and 9/8 staying rhythmically dynamic throughout. A very brief moment of repose hints at the period of calm that comes in the middle or “eye” of bigger storms. The fury of the storm then returns with darker sonorities and increased energy as this descriptive work comes to an exciting conclusion. Duration: 4:00.

Wind Sketches is a top quality concert work for wind band in three movements, inspired by the relationship between man and wind. Trade Winds, in the form of a march, is reminiscent of a shanty, conjuring up seafaring and the tradewinds. Becalmed, harmonically and melodically almost static, depicts the doldrums. All the more contrasting is Riding the Storm, which concerns the love-hate relationship of people to the winds that he needs and at the same times fears.Wind Sketches is een eersteklas concertwerk voor blaasorkest. Het bestaat uit drie delen, die gebaseerd zijn op de relatie tussen de mens en de wind: Trade Winds, in marsvorm, doet denken aan een shanty en roept associaties op met dezee en passaatwinden. Becalmed, dat in melodieus en harmonieus opzicht bijna statisch is, schetst een windstilte. Riding the Storm is stormachtig: het beschrijft de haat-liefdeverhouding tussen de mens en de wind.Wind Sketches ist ein hochkaratiges Konzertwerk fur Blasorchester in drei Satzen, die alle von der Beziehung Mensch und Wind inspiriert sind: Der erste Trade Winds in Marschform erinnert an ein Shanty und an Passatwinde auf hoher See.Der zweite Satz, Becalmed, harmonisch und melodisch fast statisch, beschreibt eine Flaute. Umso kontrastreicher ist der dritte Satz, Riding the Storm, der von der Hassliebe des Menschen des Menschen zu Winden gepragt ist.Les trois mouvements de cette piece s'inspirent des rapports entre les humains et divers types de vents. Le premier, Alizes (Trade Winds), prend la forme d'une marche aux accents de chansons de marins, le deuxieme mouvement, Encalmine(Becalmed), est de nature quasi statique, sans grand developpement melodique ou harmonique. Le finale, Porte par la tempete (Riding the Storm), depeint les relations humaines, par le biais de vents tumultueux, dangereux, benefiques etvivifiants.I tre movimenti di questo brano si ispirano al rapporto dell'uomo con il vento. Il primo, Trade Winds, prende la forma di una marcia dagli accenti di mare, il secondo movimento, Becalmed, e di natura quasi statica, senza grandi sviluppimelodici o armonici. Il finale, Riding the Storm, descrive i tanti venti tumultuosi, pericolosi, benefici e vigorosi.
