Product Description

Smith Island Boat Song expresses the roots music side of my writing. It is a ballad that draws upon Scottish fiddle traditions and has subtle modern touches. The music was Inspired by Smith Island in the Chesapeake Bay. The non-traditional aspects include moving triads over a pedal point used throughout the tune and Lydian harmony (F triad over Eb) in the B section. The AABBCA form is unusual. The music builds slowly, starting gently in A and progressively building in B. The C section is the dramatic high point of the piece. Then, it tapers back down in the final A section.
