The Cliffs of Moher (Stephen Chin) for String Orchestra
$148.00
The Cliffs of Moher, rising about 200 meters above the Atlantic on Ireland's west coast, are home to many birds and sea life, such as grey seals and dolphins. In this work, I aimed to capture the feeling of sea spray, the beauty of green pastures, and the vibrant atmosphere of nearby towns, using musical textures such as pizzicato, sustained notes, bass melodies, and a reflective violin solo.
The Cliffs of Moher (Stephen Chin) for String Orchestra
The Moher Cliffs are located on Ireland's west coast and rise approximately 200 meters above the Atlantic Ocean. These towering cliffs are home to large colonies of birds, and a diverse array of sea life, including grey seals, porpoises, dolphins, and minke whales, can be seen in the surrounding waters.
In this work, I aimed to express several emotions and experiences, such as the sensation of sea spray on one's face, the nostalgic beauty of the green pastures, the lively atmosphere of the nearby towns, and the majestic presence of the cliffs. To convey these feelings, I incorporated a variety of musical textures, including gentle pizzicato, sustained higher notes, melodic bass lines, a reflective violin solo, and persistent quaver rhythms.
