October 28, 2007 began as a typically beautiful Southern California day. But as the composer sat at his piano writing this composition, he became aware of a major firestorm raging within a few miles of his house. Dense smoke filled the air and a steady stream of helicopters flew into the local reservoir to fill up with water to battle the flames. John O'Reilly has crafted a remarkable piece that captures the drama of this event. (3:25)

The inspiration for this piece, commissioned by the United States Army Band, came from the Gulf and its constant presentation to the world as a media event on television. The composer wanted to capture the colour and events of war as they were played out on the television screen. Composed as a single movement rhapsody, the work is framed by the riveting sounds of airborne bombing raids with brass and percussion combining to create a gripping sense of tension.

Stephen Bulla schreef Firestorm, waarvan de première op 27 april 1991 plaatsvond, voor de United States Army Band. De hevige emoties die de Eerste Golfoorlog bij de componist losmaakte, vormden voor hem de aanleiding tot het schrijven van deze compositie. Hypnotiserende geluiden van bombardementen voeren de boventoon in dit spannende werk, dat in de vorm van een rapsodie werd geschreven.
