"I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and sky, and all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by..." John Masefield's famous poem comes to life in this evocative, expressive work with a gentle melodic texture and a beautiful piano accompaniment. The theme is a universal one, of connection with place and sense of identity, of remembrance and longing for the freedom of the "vagrant gypsy life."
