Broadening my percussion skills I still learned a few new things from [Wayback/Archive] Instructional Video: Orchestral Bass Drum – YouTube.

I found it while looking how to make wind sounds on a concert bass drum: [Wayback/Archive] How to create wind/whooshing sound effect in orchestra : composer

I would say ‘Wind Machine’ or ‘Aeliophone’. It is a percussion instrument used to produce the sound of wind in orchestral compositions and musical theater productions. Originally used only in operas by Wagner and Rossini during the Romantic Period, Richard Strauss was the first to make it popular by using them in his tone poems. Later, many impressionist and modernist composers such as Ravel, Vaughan Williams, Schönberg, Messiaen etc. adopted this instrument in the orchestration of their pieces. Some classical works using the wind machine are :
- Wagner : Der fliegende Holländer
- Rossini : Il Barbiere di Siviglia
- R. Strauss : Don Quixote/Ein Alpensinfonie/Josephlegende/Die ägyptische Helena/Die Frau ohne Schatten
- Elgar : The Starlight Express
- Vaughan Williams : Sinfonia antartica
- Schönberg : Die Jakobsleiter
- Ravel : Daphnis et Chloé/L’enfant et les sortilèges

The reason: despite the score of Loch Ness – A Scottish Fantasy by Johan de Meij having an optional wind machine, I could hardly find any orchestra that uses it for their YouTube videos. The best video of it I could find was [Wayback/Archive] North Oakland Concert Band plays Loch Ness by de Meij – YouTube which also included a bagpipes player.

[Wayback/Archive] Loch Ness | Johan de Meij | Music | AM07

The symphonic poem ‘Loch Ness’ consists of five through-composed impressions of this mysterious Scottish Lake.

The Lake At Dawn – calm, static, sonorous blocks depict the troubled opaque water surface and the enormous depth of the Lake at daybreak.

Slowly the rising early-morning mist reveals the distant ruins of Urquhart Castle, represented by a solemn theme in the trombones which is taken over by the full band, thus evoking the illustrious past of this fortress besieged so many times.

Inverness: Bagpipes and Tourists – the music takes us down to the town of Inverness where the first tourists mark the slow but steady start of a new season to the sound of a Scottish melody.

Storm – suddenly a heavy wheater breaks: fierce gusts of wind and heavy showers transform the erstwhile calm surface into an obscure and whirling mass of water, and clouds rapidly passing over offer an eery scene…

Conclusion – storm and rain gradually decrease and when everything is quiet again we are granted a last view of the Lake in its full glory.
