High Tide

Experience the duality of the vast oceans, from the violent ferocity of the most powerful storms to the tranquil and silent stillness they disturb. The ebb and flow of the sea's waves is illustrated with the long, undulating melodic lines passed between different sections. Surrounding them are the thundering storms created by the ensemble's loud and fast introduction and finale. At its heart, a beautiful and calm moment of serenity creates a full portrait of the ocean. Premiered at the 2025 Georgia Music Educators Association at the University of Georgia.
