Show Title
Whispers Become Thunder
Repertoire
🌬️ Movement II – “Chant of the Current”
Mood: Rising. Rhythmic. Ritualistic. Like a wind learning to speak.
Music Ideas:
“Lux Aeterna” – György Ligeti (Fragments) or custom tribal chant-style pieces
Body percussion, layered rhythm builds
Instruments come in like voices joining a cause—clarinets, French horns, tenors
Visuals: Circles. Spiral formations. Breath into motion. The corps becomes the wind learning its name.
The whisper finds rhythm. And rhythm remembers how to move.
⚡ Movement III – “The Gale Speaks”
Mood: Aggressive. Unrelenting. Rhythmic thunder. You’re no longer a breeze—you’re a force.
Music Ideas:
“Dies Irae” – Verdi (reorchestrated with modern electronics/brass hits)
“Baba Yaga” – Mussorgsky
Slammed percussion, rapid formations, controlled chaos
Visuals: Violent shifts. Flags snapping. Marchers driving across the field like they own the terrain.
The wind has no mercy. And it doesn’t ask for forgiveness.
🌩️ Movement IV – “Thunder Made Flesh”
Mood: Triumphant. Explosive. Emotional payoff. You are the storm now—divine, wild, unforgettable.
Music Ideas:
“O Fortuna” – Orff (but modernized with vocals & body hits)
Original closer: mix electronic sub-bass with full corps sound
Soaring brass chorale that screams survival and dominance
Visuals: A final wall of power. Full spread. The winds become light, color, heat. You’re no longer just wind…
you’re what comes after.
The world remembers what tried to stand against you.
