- Description:
From a light sprinkle to a constant drizzle. Flashes of thunder and lightning precede a complete downpour before the rain evens out. Rolling grey billows of clouds invade the sky as thunder and lighting prevail over the stormy afternoon. The clouds relent a bit, a misleading calm before all hell breaks loose. But the sun begins to break though the grey skies, and while the rain might remain, the devastation of the storm has passed.- Instrumentation:

- Xylophone (2)
- Vibraphone (2)
- Marimba (3)
- Auxiliary Percussion
- Gong and Bass
