The Song of Storms is in triple time and features a 4-bar intro. The rest of the piece is 11 bars long and looped ''ad infinitum'' with the last bar of the 8-bar melodic phrase overlapping with the first bar of the intro (making a phrase analysis of 8 + 3 with the last bar of the 8 also acting as the 'real' first bar of the 3). Even though the piece is only 11 bars long, it uses two different sets of instrumentation to add variety. The first set primarily uses an organ for the melody while the second set uses an accordion and glockenspiel or celeste.
