| Description: A salute to the famous sailboat race, this rollicking piece, in a minor, introduces compound time with an opening (and closing) section in 12/8. The fast flowing music of the opening, vividly suggestive of a ship slicing through the waves, returns in a higher key (b minor), after a warmly scored, sweepingly melodic middle section. This sophisticated piece is an excellent showcase for a more advanced performing group. |
