Ocean Sketches Score: Flute / Bb Clarinet / Trumpet in C / Cello
Water so blue and green, calm on one side and breaking waves on the shore - like music - it brings you one more. You can walk any direction and be followed by the ocean. Boarwalks hug the shoreline, sand soft and warm greets your every step and the rocks jut out into the ocean as if trying to cross the vast void before you. Jumping off the bridges and speeding through the dunes...There are many moods we all experience but there was always one certainty...the ocean. Every early memory for me has its roots by the sea. Dreaming, coming of age, meeting love, creating life...taking me away for the greatest adventure of all..my .family. Every day my thoughts take me out to the sea..
Ocean Sketches is a set of eleven short movements (musical variations) depicting the many moods of my home. Each movement is a memory in time. Each an emotion represented by the mood of the sea - beginning with "A year of Storms."
