Four Sea Interludes

[HarmlessWeasel]

This isn't really a video or picture, but I'm very interested to hear what you lot, who've been to sea, imagine or think of when you hear this music. It's four interludes (so no warbly singing!) from Benjamin Britten's tragic opera 'Peter Grimes', about a small fishing town which suffers a tragedy.

I tried to listen but Im really not a fan of Britten.

Fair enough, but not even the sunrise? The colours are incredible!

I think my favourite sea music has to be this.

Adagio of Spartacus.

walking around the promenade deck of a cruise ship etc.

Great music, but I can't say that any of the pieces makes me think of the title.

Someone's an Onedin Line fan I see! I love that music. Funnily enough it's not actually about the sea, though it does fit very well. I'm going to have it on my ipod when I finally make it onto a tall ship

How about this? You may need some decent speakers/earphones for the beginning
