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 premiere 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 hetschrijven van deze compositie. Hypnotiserende geluiden van bombardementen voeren de boventoon in dit spannende werk, dat in de vorm van een rapsodie werd geschreven.
