Towards The Western Horizon Dhcb3

The inspiration for this piece came from the address of the person who commissioned the work: Morse Street, Houston, Texas. It pays tribute to the immense skill of the engineers who succeeded in submerging a wire across the Atlantic to send messages in morse code from America to Europe. This technical ingenuity provided the perfect source of material for a transatlantic musical message. This work explores the vast expanse of theAtlantic and makes use of Irish melodies to celebrate the point where t he cable enters into the Atlantic Ocean. Dur: 6:55
