Review of Music At Sea

This is an engaging piece which begins in the present day with the music onboard the Cunard ocean liners and ends with the tragedy of the Titanic. Glenn Miller, TV's "Love Boat" and the Roaring Twenties are touched on. The piece's final minutes of words and music are beautiful. The music is lovely and leaves one with a wistful feeling. This piece would be appropriate in April, that wistful month when the Titanic sank so many years ago. Well done.
