Sherav from Chamsin by Yochanan Sebastian Winston
Sherav is a Hebrew synonym for chamsin. Thus, a hot, dry desert wind akin to a sirocco or a Santa Ana. The piece makes extensive use of acoustic wind sounds produced by a soprano and a bass flute. The groove in the second section was inspired by contemporary, “Downtempo” dance music.
