“The Storm”

Object Details

Description
This sheet music for the song "The Storm" was written and composed by Henry Weber, and published by the Oliver Ditson Co. of Boston, Massachusetts in 1879. The cover calls the composition “an imitation of nature composed for the piano.” The font evokes a storm, with the “The” in the title being enveloped in a cloud with lightning bolts, and the font looking like jagged bolts as well.
