Wind: The movement begins with rumbles of air from the didgeridoo; low strings hint at the theme whilst flutes and the bass clarinet swirl. The strings stride at the head of the furious gale, the woodwinds scurry and shriek, and the dingo prowls at the edge of the fury. The wind rises and falls with intense wrath. The whirly-wind makes its presence felt, with the didgeridoo and bull-roarer in counterpoint. The wind dies away and the land is again at peace.
