Description:
This work takes both its name and inspiration from a lighthouse 'Sword Cape' that keeps watch near Japan's naval base. The piece describes how, come rain or shine, the lighthouse bids a safe journey to departing ships, guides them during their travels and eventually welcomes them home again. The music evokes many musical images - grand ships sailing by, white-capped waves, the deep blue of the ocean and the light of 'sword cape' as it silently guides ships over the mysterious waters.
