THE SEA is an orchestral suite (or symphonic tone poem) written in 1910-11 by Frank Bridge (1879-1941). It consists of four movements, about which the composer wrote the following comments for the program notes at the premiere: 1. Seascape: Allegro ben moderato - Seascape paints the sea on a summer morning. From high drifts is seen a great expanse of waters lying in the sunlight. Warm breezes play over the surface. 2. Sea Foam: Allegro vivo - Sea-foam froths among the low-lying rocks and pools on the shore, playfully not stormy. 3. Moonlight: Adagio non troppo - A calm sea at night. The first moonbeams are struggling to pierce through dark clouds, which eventually pass over, leaving the sea shimmering in full moonlight. 4. Storm: Allegro energico - Allegro moderato e largamente - Wind, rain and tempestuous seas, with the lulling of the storm an allusion to the first number is heard and which may be regarded as the sea-lover's dedication to the sea.
