Blue Water

Description

Violin 1, Violin 2, Violin 3, Viola, Cello, Contrabass, Piano — A few years ago I wrote a piece entitled Sailing! to express the feeling of going on a voyage. This piece is the second thought with that concept. Sailing or cruising to the big ocean (i.e. blue water) must be a romantic adventure, so I wanted to express the feeling of its thrill and excitement.The main theme has a very light and brilliant feeling in triple time. However, the middle part from m. 33 in duple time should be played full of expression and with a thick timbre feeling. The very last note is a moment of release after the voyage (which means no tension). Hear the thrill and excitement of being on the water in this delightful new piece from composer Yukiko Nishimura, which is whimsical and fresh. The triple meter gives the piece a lilt that establishes the sensation of sailing on the big ocean. This is a substantial piece for advancing ensembles and would be ideal for contest/festival performance.
