Out to Sea

Originally commissioned by Upland High School (California)

"Out to Sea embodies the robust soundtrack like scoring of Miklós Rózsa. The opening fanfare produces a powerhouse introduction featuring the brass and battery, who then turn the reigns over to the softer sounds
of the front ensemble and woodwinds. The calm only lasts a short time before the tension again builds,
giving an equally strong end to the first movement, clearing the air for another gentle flourish of woodwinds
which leads into a flute solo. Very much like the sea, the musical lines rise and fall, giving a layering effect
throughout all three movements. The last production brings back the suspense and builds to a restatement
of the opening fanfare, giving the audience a strong voluminous and exciting finale!"
