Dark Cloud (Oologah)—Ryan Main. Native American
musical influences are evident in presenting the musical
imagery of a powerful and dramatic storm that appears
suddenly, sweeping viciously across the Midwestern
plains. At first brooding on the horizon and later exploding

battling the fierce and unpredictable elements in a time
before technology.

Lightning Field—John Mackey. Inspired by a
massive work of art in which steel rods are placed over
a large expanse of desert, drawing lightning strikes and
creating powerful man-made electrical storms. This work
draws on the ancient impulse to summon nature's power
and a strong feeling of barely contained energy ripples
throughout, enhanced by using thunder sticks to create the
sound of man-made thunder surrounding the audience.

March of the Lava Fields—Andrew Poor. This work
begins with a slow and ominous feel. As the tension builds,

in intensity until it finally crashes into the surrounding roads
and villages. Brake drum, vibraslap and tam-tam add to
the dramatic nature of the work. A very exciting work for
