The Northwestern State University Percussion Ensemble commissioned 'arcus nubes' for their 2021 PASIC New Literature Session. The piece explores the texture and timbre of metallic percussion instruments such as the tenor pan, vibraphone, glockenspiel, pitched metal pipes and desk bells. Other wooden, skin, and glass timbres are explored throughout the work in more of a supportive role. My inspiration for the piece comes from arcus cloud formations, particularly rolling and/or shelf clouds. When viewing arcus cloud formations from the ground, they almost seem otherworldly but hauntingly beautiful in the overall canvas of the sky. - JWMIII
