It was a clear-cut illustration of how weather and the environment can provide the stimulus for great compositions.<\/p>\n<p>Dean\u2019s weather-inspired musical composition features guitar riffs, a base drum roll, and percussion. The swirling, broiling effect of sounds reflects the intensity of the \u201cBlack Saturday\u201d fire that engulfed Australia and also depicts the unending cycle of destruction of nature.<\/p>\n<p>In creating Fire Music, Brett Dean joined lots of other classical composers who have depicted atmospheric phenomena in their compositions. Dean responded to the emotions stirred by the catastrophe, as evidenced by the finished product.<\/p>\n<p>Fire Music has been a defining moment in Brett Dean\u2019s work as a composer. It showed how he can act in response to things going on around him. Hence, Fire Music may be regarded as a social commentary, not just a depiction of a dreadful extreme weather-related event &#8212; the bushfire.<\/p>\n<p>Years earlier, in the mid 1990s, Dean had also written something that depicted winter, which was used for the Berlin Philharmonic Wind Quintet.<\/p>\n<p>Another musician who has also tapped weather circumstances as subject for their musical works is Kronos Quartet violinist David Harrington. Harrington has explored the impact of Hurricane Sandy, and has also played quartet portions in Fire Music by Brett Dean.<\/p>\n<p>Meantime, among the composers who have addressed climate change through their music are Mason Bates and John Luther Adams. Adams has tackled many weather-related subjects. The title of his operatic work Earth and the Great Weather say it all. Indeed, the weather has always found expression in the works of many musical artists, enticing listeners to journey and experience things in a whole new light.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>  Weather has  found expression in classical music, enticing listeners to journey and experience things in a whole new light.Weather inspired classical music, some good composers has tapped  weather circumstances as subject for their musical works.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1124,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,20],"tags":[55,62],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Weather Inspired Classical Music - Greatest Performance<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Weather has found expression in classical music, enticing listeners to journey and experience things in a whole new light.
