A Fisherman's Tale [Alf:81-CB29138]

Using the style of Canadian folk songs from the East Coast and the story-telling features of Newfoundland, A Fisherman's Tale is a piece about a trip out into the ocean. The piece opens with the solemn, chorale-like movement, "Farewell," as the fisherman leaves his home and family to begin the excursion, and closes with "Return to Harbour," an up-tempo movement representing the worker's successful homecoming.
