Pictures of Puget Sound - Alan Lee Silva - Carl Fischer Score/Parts

As the title implies, this piece conveys composer Alan Lee Silva's imaginative take on the beauty of the Puget Sound off the coast of Washingtonstate. The piece has many of the compositional techniques you have come to know and love in the pieces of Silva. There are driving rhythms, eff ortlessly flowing melodies, beautiful harmonic colors and just an overwhelming sense that the piece is exactly as it should be. This is a true mark of a master composer, one who can make the music have a sense of inevitability and sound just right.
