"Sometimes we are lucky enough to know that our lives have been changed, to discard the old, embrace the new, and run headlong down an immutable course. It happened to me ... on that summer’s day, when my eyes were opened to the sea." . . . Jacques Yves Cousteau
Our season opener is a collection of musical pieces dedicated to the sea. With the waters of Buzzards Bay as a close reminder, we celebrate the beauty of the water, respect the force of its unpredictable nature and honor those who dedicate their lives to sailing, guiding and working on seafaring vessels of all kinds. From England’s “Sea Songs” by Vaughan Williams to New York harbor and Jay Chattaway’s “Parade of Tall Ships” and then all the way out to the South Pacific for Richard Rodgers’ “Victory at Sea”, the Tri-County Symphonic Band invites you take a memorable musical voyage with us as we open the 2008-2009 Concert Season:
Vaughan Williams- Sea Songs
Rodgers- Victory at Sea
Smith- Songs of Sailor and Sea
McBeth- The Sea Treaders
Sousa- Hands Across the Sea
