Description
Using the style of Canadian folk songs from the east coast and the story-telling features of Newfoundland, A Fishermans 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 workers successful homecoming.
