World Wind is a piece for flute ensemble that musically depicts a wind so immense that it blows throughout the entire world. The name World Wind is a deliberate, lyrical echo of "whirlwind," reinforcing the work's theme of grand, sweeping scale. Regarding the choice of instrumentation, the airy timbre of the flute makes it an ideal choice for evoking a windy atmosphere, hence the choice of flute ensemble. World Wind takes the listener through the journey of the wind, from the initial emergence to the final gust. What starts as a pleasant breeze begins to transform, ranging from the most calming of breezes to the most devastating of gales.
