About this piece:
The inspiration for this composition comes from two great bodies of water I have spent my life living near. I currently live on Cape Cod and frequently walk along the shores of Cape Cod Bay, the title of the first movement. Each time I visit, the bay's mood is different depending on many variables such as: the season and time of day; whether it's sunny, cloudy or foggy; whether it's windy or calm. I have tried to reflect these moods in the music.
Before moving to Cape Cod I grew up in Rhode Island and learned to sail on Narragansett Bay, the title of the second movement. This movement reflects the exuberance and fun of being moved by the wind over the rolling waves.
