Romney Marsh Cries

Romney Marsh Cries gives voice to the land donated by the sea, enclosed by a cliff and a canal, fertile and remote. Here, generations have made their lives over hundreds of years, from the land and the sea. The voices of the choir and the saxophone quartet strike out with rough waves of sound, cascading over each other, through a reclamation of calm in the middle to a resigned peace of the lost beauty once sung here.

Scored for SSATBB, saxophone quartet.
