Seaside Studies

Seaside Studies The five works in this collection are graded studies for solo cornet. Dipping Your Toe… This short fun piece portrays the trepidation as you tiptoe up to the edge of the cold sea water, before the wave breaks and you run away desperately trying not to get your feet wet! And then of course you do it again... Seaside Sojourn The music is both rhythmic and optimistic, as it tries to capture all the fun and activity of a day out at a busy beach! Rock Pool Rock The music imagines that beneath the surface of a small unsuspecting Rock Pool there are crabs, sea anemones, limpets and periwinkles grabbing their guitars, basses and drum kits and are, unbeknownst to everyone else, having a rockin good party! Seaweed Blues This laid back blues imagines a lounging and lazing clump of Seaweed, gradually being dried out on a rock in the sun, whilst singing the blues, remembering the good times when he was free to float unbound across the seas...! Wonky Donkey The music tries to capture the thrill of being on a donkey ride with a less than stable mule as it meanders over the sandy and often uneven dunes.
