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.
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).
