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." Instrumentation: 3(3rd dPicc).2+1(EH).2+1(BCl).2+1(CBsn): 4.3.3.1: Timp.Perc(4): Hp: Str(9.8.7.6.5 in set). Reprint edition.
