Ocean

The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – the ocean.

The ocean plays a major role in classical music because it offers powerful imagery, a symbolic meaning & a rich sonic palette that musicians can translate into beautiful sound. Its movement – waves, tides, storms & calm naturally lends itself to musical expression. In classical music, the ocean often represents emotional depth, freedom, adventure, serenity, mystery & infinity. Composers have explored the sea to express our awe of the natural world & our humility in comparison.
