Description
This work tells the story of the famous sailor and explorer—Christopher Columbus. His voyage to discover a trade route with China while traveling West led to the discovering of The New World—the Americas. It is set in four contrasting sections—At the Dock, Setting Sail, A Lonely Life at Sea, and To New Discoveries—each with it’s own character and color. The stately fanfare opening moves into a spirited section with a great melody and syncopated support rhythms. “A Lonely Life at Sea” is reflective with melody in the middle voices. The piece concludes with a recap of the upbeat spirited melody before arriving at an energetic conclusion. Written for brass choir by David Marlatt.
