Described by the Boston Globe as reflecting "a certain glowering Winslow Homer pictorialism," In the Storm is a set of four songs for mezzo or soprano, clarinet and piano that is based on texts by the Austrian poet, Ingeborg Bachmann (1926-1973). The music was commissioned in 1989 by Chamber Music in Watertown.
In the Storm was premiered by mezzo soprano D`Anna Fortunato with her trio, Soli Espri, to commemorate ten years of the concert series, Chamber Music in Watertown. Fortunato has also performed the piece at Harvard University, SUNY/Albany, the New School of Music, and on WGBH-FM live broadcasts.
