Strommen, Setting Sail [CF:SPS54]

Carl Strommen
Setting Sail
(Freedon of the Spirit)

With its title is taken from the text of Walt Whitman’s poem “Leaves of Grass,” Setting Sail is an epic new piece that is expansive and sophisticated. Its luxuriant, reticent opening moves into beautiful lyrical lines and all-encompassing harmonies before leading into the journey at sea, punctuated with a cool 6/8 groove. To finish, we have a climactic return of the original lyrical material. This is a large-scale work of dramatic proportions.
