Seascapes
Five men and the sea


Orchestral Pictures for Tenor Soloist and Chamber Orchestra
Dauer: 22 min


Inspired by Redmond O'Hanlon's book ”Trawler” (2003), this work consists of five scenes in which a tenor soloist represents the explorer (O'Hanlon), the skipper, the youngest sailor, the aggressive sailor and the experienced First Mate.
The score evokes savage nature and the extreme conditions of life on board a trawler in today's industrialised world.
