Oceanus

Young students are fascinated with music inspired by myths and legends, and this is such a piece. Named for the sea god of Greek and Roman mythology, he was the father of rivers and streams, personified as a huge river that circled the earth. The music begins with the gentle rippling of water as it endlessly circles the world, building into a depiction of the growing waves of the deep ocean and dramatic storms that prowl the surface of the waters.
