CONTENTS:
 
Godrevy Island - A beautiful blend of bird calls, waves, and flowing lyrical melodic lines coupled with syncopation make this an exhiliarating play.
Hanover Cove - Tranquil lapping waves and the light glinting on the water introduce this gentle (yet later stormier) soundscape by means of the Dorian mode.
Piskies Cove - Strangely hypnotising and eerily enchanting, the pesky piskies play...
Lankidden - A tranquil and secret place with not a soul to be seen. The mixolydian mode and sparkling sevenths add to the beauty.
St Nectan's Waterfall - Delicate and brooding, feel the movement from the chordal harmony. A great piece for tone practise and control.
St Clement's Isle - Constrantly shifting changing and turning, dark and turbulent, then light and full of tranquility and life.
