Product Description
"On the Seashore of Endless Worlds", with a text by Tagore, beautifully paints the ironically naive view of children playing at the edge of the threatening ocean, a metaphor on the uncertainty of life and the virtue of innocence. Full of playful text painting, this is a true art piece, and accessible to even a moderately skilled singer. Wonderfully rocking piano ostinati illustrate the rising and falling of ocean swells and blasting chords the crashing of waves. The spiritual message here is to help us appreciate the joy of life even more intensely in the face of our eventual demise. This neo-impressionistic work would be excellent material for a faculty, student, or professional recital at conservatory or in public. Other Gorton songs are available to make a set.
