'SUMMER THUNDER SPEAKS'
for flute & piano

flute - Charlotte Munro
piano - Robert Coleridge

"Summer Thunder Speaks is a short
but very energetic work for flute and piano.
The music is bright and bursts out of nowhere
like the sudden appearance of a thunderstorm
on a summer’s day. One moment the storm is
upon us, and the next it has disappeared
completely."
