Description
With Wind and Water is a musical portrayal of an adventure on the high seas during the sailing age. Large sailing vessels dominated global exploration, international trade, and naval warfare during the 16th to the mid-19th century. The piece’s compound meter provides the pulse of movement as it pitches and rolls with the rhythm of the waves. The driving main melodies convey the determination and courage of the explorers and their crew. Dissonant harmonies suggest rough seas, turbulent weather, and other constant dangers that sailors must endure. Finally, the ending sweeping melody and climax reflects the joy and triumph at arriving on a new land at the apex of a long and intense voyage.
