Last summer I wrote a six movement suite of music loosely based on the life of Sir Francis Drake featuring oboe and English horn for Lauren “OboeCrazy” Urban and then we got caught up in one project after another and we never actually finished recording it.
Today I was looking through some of my older work and found this.
Here’s a recording we did almost a year ago of the third movement which I called “Sailing Orlando”. The movement is supposed to be evocative of the Captain onboard his fast-sailing ship, “The Golden Hind”, as it cuts swiftly through the waters of a wide and glorious ocean, taking him towards a new adventure.
