About this item
Inspired by the devastating hurricane season during the summer of 2004, the subtitle of this work is "Ivan." The Second Storm begins with a calm melodic introduction "Before the Storm" and, as the fury of Mother Nature is unleashed, the work develops using strong unison impacts with driving rhythmic figures to capture the intensity of the event in sound. Your intermediate orchestra will sound bold. A big sound is guaranteed.

Composer
Robert. W Smith (1958-)
Robert W. Smith is an American composer, arranger, and teacher.He was born in the small town of Daleville, Alabama on October 24 1958. He attended high school in Dadeville, after which he left for Troy State University, where he played lead trumpet in the Sound of the South Marching Band. While at Troy, he studied composition with Dr. Paul Yoder.
Upon his graduation from Troy State with a Bachelor of Music Education degree, Smith pursued his musical career in South Florida, where he earned the Master's degree in Media Writing and Production from the University of Miami, while studying with Dr. Alfred Reed.
In 1997 Smith returned to Troy, Alabama to become the Director of Bands at Troy State University, following the retirement of his old band director, Dr. Long. Smith would remain at Troy for four years, directing the Sound of the South Marching Band and the Symphony Band. In 2001, he left Troy to take a more full-time position with Warner Brothers Publications.[citation needed] His position with Warner since leaving Troy has taken him all over the world, acting as guest conductor and clinician with many ensembles, including the New Mexico All-State Small School band.
