About the Music “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than those you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from safe harbor. Catch the wind in your sails. Explore...dream...discover.” Mark Twain To the passionate sailor, little else compares with the thrill of exploring a limitless world of wind and light completely void of borders. Dedicated to Linda McDavitt, this spirited work portrays the splendor and majesty of navigating the great waters. The title of the work was inspired by the name of Ms. McDavitt’s sailboat, Bonfire. The majestic opening of the music typifies a beautiful day for sailing when perfect weather and a stalwart sea-ready vessel entices excitement and anticipation. As the tempo suddenly becomes quick and brisk, the journey is now at hand! A ship’s bell can be heard intermittently throughout the piece to further characterize the joy of the sail. Rehearsal Suggestions Effective execution of style and dynamics are vital to capturing the character of the piece. While the use of divisi with the Trombone/Euphonium/Bassoon part will greatly enrich the harmony, ensembles of limited resource are encouraged to play only the top notes as the functionality of the music will not be impaired. If no ship’s bell is available, Previewa brake drum will make an adequate substitute.
