| Comments: On Island of Vaadhoo in Maldives. |
| Description: The Sea of Stars on the island of Vaadhoo in the Maldives is famous for its unique feature of bioluminescence. As the waves break against the shore, the water turns a sparkling blue, appearing as stars reflected in the water. The opening of this piece imitates the shimmering water as a nostalgic motif is presented by a solo cello over delicate harmonics and tremolo. The piece swells, ebbs, and flows with a beautiful theme that ends as quietly and magically as it started. |
