A Place by the Sea

A Place by the Sea captures the essence of the sea with its lively and evocative maritime flavor. R. Scott Whittington’s nautically-inspired composition begins with a cheerful violin figure and builds up to a rousing finale that will delight audiences of all ages. With rich and sonorous sound and all parts written in first position (except bass), this piece is well-suited for younger or developing players, focusing on blend, intonation, ensemble, and rhythmic accuracy. The performance time is approximately 3 minutes and 51 seconds, making it an excellent addition to any concert program.
