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.

"written by Christian Heinrich Weber, born April 15, 1812 in Marburg, Germany who lived in Nashville, TN by 1855 where he co-lead the Nashville Academy of Music. The Storm was probably written in 1858. In the Music collection of the Tennessee State Library and Archives there are three copies of this work. the oldest published in 1858 , 11 pages publlished by Benson of Nashville, the 2nd published by Benson & Belon & Weber, St. Louis, 1858a, and the 3rd, published in 1880. I haven't examined any of them, but I expect to. I found this information in the library's card catalog yesterday, 9/6/2013"
