  • The Poem

here you can STREAM the 1st movement...

"Oceans Dance"

Largo quasi Allegretto, ~7 minutes


The members of this ensemble are dolphins, sea-lions, beluga whales, flamingoes and water sounds, e.g. rivers, from those habitats. Plus the symphony orchestra.


This is the complete 1st movement of the Symphony. Like the other movements it's also its own tone-poem.

Oceans...

... Dance

As a child 

Dancing with the ocean

The ocean is a child

And it dances

Wave dance


The child matures? 

The ocean remains a child 

It dances

Enjoy streaming the 2nd movement...

"Wave Reflections"

Adagio, ~14 minutes 


In this movement we hear waves hitting the coast line and ebb/flood on sand- and rockbeaches. With them we hear crickets, seagulls, birds at a stream, a village fountain and shimmering seas.


This is the entire 2nd movement, performed by those waves and a Symphony Orchestra. 

Wave Reflections...

The waves dance 

They dance the oceans dance
The light reflects in the waves
The sea reflects the sunrays and the light

Light itself is dancing

 

We see reflections...
... as the sea decides to pass them on to us
... as the waves decide to pass them on to us
The reflections of the waves

the entire 3rd Movement

"Symphonic Whale Song"

Zarabanda, ~12  minutes


This is more of a duet perhaps, the symphony orchestra with humpback whales. And water sounds from the humpbacks' habitat.


Right from the first time I heard it, to me those whales singing sounded like unearthly, soulful music. Sung in an unknown language. That's how it began.

Symphonic Whale Song...

Symphonic Whale Song

Poetry in a foreign, unknown language

Unearthly, soulful tones 

Outlandish, mysterious words 

Aquatic, oceanic poetry sung by 

Ethereal giants

 

Singing grandiose graces of the oceans 

Whale song  

Sung from out of the deep sea 

Concealed, deep sea, symphony

The complete 4th and 5th Movements now available to stream

"Frog Meditation" and "Thus Spake Hippopotamus"

Andante and Caccia, 16 1/2 minutes 


In these two movements the symphony orchestra is accompanying frogs and hippo's, with porpoise and other marine flora and fauna also assisting. The two movements flow attacca one into the other, without pause.

The Rhythm...

There is a rhythm in the oceans

Frogs, hippo's, the waves

All have their own rhythms

All blend together

The rhythms joyfully dancing in the oceans 


Ocean rhythm, like breathing

Frog croaking the beat

The hippo's laugh in a constant rallentando

They slow down a little all the time! 

The waves speed up and slow down, ever changing and ever the same

Dancing in joy


Meditation?

Breath?

Breathing the meditation of Mother Earth? 

The heartbeat?


Earthbound longing for the deep 

A symphony to breathe in their pace 

To pace with them

To wave with the storms

To sink down in myself and

To be the poetry, the meditation 

To learn to breathe 

Moving gently, dancing and breathing, in the music

Moving with the seaweed, overwhelmed 

Moving with the seagrass meadows

Delighted to be overwhelmed


The waters are The Rhythm 

I am in The Rhythm

The waters are in The Rhythm 

All is rhythm

All is music 

All is breath 

Breath and laughter 

Laughing is breathing, the hippo's delightful laughter

Breath is life 

Ocean Life
