PLAIN SAILING

This exciting seascape depicts the excitement and perils of being on the high seas. Beginning with dawn on the day of departure we feel the excitement of the crew as they prepare to embark on their immense voyage before the ship is engulfed in a terrifying storm. The romance of the high seas and the beauty of the tall ships in full sail is depicted by a piano theme which symbolizes in the mind of the composer, the crashing of the ship through the waves set against the languid calm of tropical waters as depicted by the strings.
