The Approaching Coast

Description

Adventure, pirates, and stormy weather. Let David Marlatt's short, exciting piece for woodwind ensemble take your audience on a seafaring ride through the crashing ocean. Energetic, crisp, and punctuated chords are found in the first section which is followed by a calm, smooth, and quiet contrast using a pentatonic scale which gives it a slightly Asian feel. The aggressive articulated rhythms return and The Approaching Coast comes to a dramatic conclusion with both themes played simultaneously. Enjoy the adventure on the wild seas as you see . . . the approaching coast. (1:45)
