Hal Leonard Sea of Clouds - Buckley - Concert Band - Gr. 4

3rd Movement of The Seas of the Moon

Composer: Robert Buckley
Format: Score and Parts
Instrumentation: Concert Band
Level: 4

The third movement of Robert Buckley's grandly cinematic suite describing impressions of the "seas" of the moon, Sea of Clouds was inspired by a series of paintings done by Claude Monet in the London fog. Monet captured the gradations of light as it was affected by fog with ghostly images sifting through. This movement is mostly subdued and dreamlike, the music ebbing and flowing and eventually building to a vast wall of sound and then dissolving into silence.
