Description:
With this suite for brass quintet, David Sampson paints a striking musical portrait of Chesapeake Bay and the maritime world of Annapolis. In four contrasting movements, the composer creates colorful soundscapes full of energy and atmosphere. "Morning in Annapolis / Setting Sail" opens the work with a bright and hopeful mood, depicting sailboats setting out at sunrise. The second movement, "Full and By," refers to a nautical term for the optimal sail position against the wind and is characterized by a lively and dynamic style of composition. "Bloody Point" then introduces a more mysterious and dramatic atmosphere, inspired by the legends and maritime history of the region. The suite concludes with "St. Michaels / Crab Claw" in a festive and folksy mood, evoking local traditions and the lively atmosphere of Maryland’s fishing ports. David Sampson’s brilliant musical language impressively highlights virtuosity, rhythmic precision, and the sonic possibilities of the brass quintet. Blending lyricism, power, and sophistication, this work delights performers and audiences alike. An impressive and rousing composition that transports listeners right into the heart of maritime America.
