A Fisherman's Tale

Description

Inspired by the Music of Newfoundland Using the style of Canadian folk songs from the east coast and the story-telling features of Newfoundland, this work by Ryan Meeboer for brass quintet is about a trip out into the ocean. The piece opens with the solemn, chorale-like movement "Farewell," as the fisherman leaves his home and family to begin the excursion, and closes with "Return to Harbour," an up tempo movement representing the worker's successful homecoming.
