Day 26 - North Sea Song

This is one of the larger works I have written so far. Its a setting of few lines from one of Heinrich Heine's North Sea Poems.

Now I'm not a romanticist at heart, but I do have a real affinity (surprisingly perhaps) with some of Heine's work.

The scoring is for voice plus two accompanying instruments, who play an almost-isorhythmic sequence (except that it keeps going wrong) alongside the vocal melody.
