Boosey and Hawkes On the Horizon (from Ann and Seamus) CME Opera Workshop Unison Treble composed by Stephen Hatfield

From the opera Ann and Séamus, this is an adaptation from the third scene. The imagery of the sea, salty air, a hard day's work, and an impending storm are all richly portrayed. The piano part supports the vocal line, and lends harmonic and rhythmic interest.
