Alan Bullard: North Sea Sketches (recorder ensemble/orchestra) Scrolling Score

Alan Bullard's North Sea Sketches are performed here by the National Youth Recorder Orchestra, conducted by the late Colin Touchin. They were commissioned by the Suffolk Branch of the Society of Recorder Players (SRP), and were first performed in the Suffolk town of Felixstowe by massed recorder players from all over the country, assembled for the 2010 SRP Festival, conducted by Moira Usher. Felixstowe is one of the largest North Sea ports, with a long naval history. North Sea Sketches celebrates this link, and it is an arrangement of a selection of traditional songs and dances related to the sea. The first movement, 'In Harbour', consists of three country dances: The Boatman, Chelsea Reach, and Steamboat Quickstep. The second movement, 'Lament' is based on the folk-song All things are quite silent, in which a young woman sings sorrowfully of her husband who has been press-ganged into the Navy to fight in the Napoleonic Wars, leaving her with their young child. The last movement, 'Ocean Waves' begins with two folk-songs, Bold Nelson's Praise and the Bay of Biscay. There is a change of mood for Farewell and adieu to you, Spanish Ladies as the sailors take their leave, finally singing one of the most well-known of all sea-songs as they make their journey home.
