In Stealing Thunder, I attempt to honor Mother Nature by appropriating (or stealing) recorded sounds of thunder and integrating them into the work. Each percussionist plays unique solo lines and motives; the players take these motives from one another and modify them. In effect, they are stealing each other&#039;s thunder. The name &quot;Stealing Thunder&quot; is derived from the expression &quot; to steal someone&#039;s thunder&quot;, an old expression that means to hinder or thwart some.<br /> <br /> ==Works for Percussion by this Composer==<br /> {{Paterson, Robert Works}}<br /> <br /> ==Reference==<br /> <br /> [[Category: Percussion Ensemble Works]]<br /> [[Category: Percussion Sextet Works]]</div>
