This is a string orchestra adaptation of the full orchestral version I
wrote in 2007.a
When I began Ocean Voyage, I was thinking about how my father and my
grandparents left their families and the comfort of familiar surroundings in
Italy and immigrated to America for a new life during the early part of the
20th Century.
Just as there is an element of danger in taking a trip across the ocean,
there is the excitement of the voyage and the promise of a new experience in
a place you have never been before. The trip itself is an adventure since you
will spend several days aboard the ship, and in days that have long since
faded from the calendar, these trips took weeks and even months. This piece
attempts to capture the spirit of the adventure and excitement of such a
trip.
The piece starts with the sounding of the horn as the ship embarks. This
leads to a beautiful lyrical section and later there is a spritely gigue.
Through these various sections I attempted to capture the various moods of
the passengers during various stages of this long, exciting journey.
