That nature inspires art is an old truth, and the sea has inspired stories in words, tones and images. In this concert, waves and wind are given free rein in four fabulous works that provide an urgent need to feel the scent of salt water and sea breeze, but which also draw sound pictures of the sea as a mighty and dangerous force. Most famous is Debussy's La Mer , three movements showing the sea from calm to storm. Ethel Smyth's On the Cliffs of Cornwall and Benjamin Britten's Sea Interludes are excerpts from operas that are both about the hard life of fishermen in Great Britain, The Wreckers and Peter Grimes respectively. Grace Williams' work Sea Sketchesfrom 1944 begins with windy weather over the sea and ends in the fifth picture with the title "Calm Sea in Summer". Smyth's and Debussy's works were both composed in the first decade of the 20th century, and Britten's and Williams' both in the early 1940s. Although Debussy is French, his work actually also has an English connection. He sat by the coast in England proofreading his new work, and he described the sea on this coast as follows: "a charming peaceful spot: the sea unfurls itself with an utterly British correctness ." And in that way, four British coasts are represented in this concert: Cornwall ( Smyth ), Wales (Williams), Sussex(Debussy) and Suffolk (Britain).

English

At naturen inspirerer til kunst, er en gammel sandhed, og havet har inspireret fortællinger i ord, toner og billeder. I denne koncert får bølger og vind frit løb i fire fabelagtige værker, der giver akut behov for at mærke saltvandsduft og havblæst, men som også tegner lydbilleder af havet som en mægtig og farlig kraft. Mest kendt er Debussys La Mer, tre satser, der viser havet fra stille til storm. Ethel Smyths On the Cliffs of Cornwall og Benjamin Brittens Sea Interludes er uddrag af operaer, der begge handler om det hårde liv som fiskere i Storbritannien, henholdsvis The Wreckers og Peter Grimes. Grace Williams’ værk Sea Sketches fra 1944 begynder med blæsevejr over havet og ender i det femte billede med titlen ”Roligt hav om sommeren”. Smyths og Debussys værker er begge komponeret i 1900-tallets første årti, og Brittens og Williams begge i begyndelsen af 1940’erne. Selvom Debussy er fransk, så har hans værk faktisk også en engelsk forbindelse. Han sad nemlig ved kysten i England og læste korrektur på sit nye værk, og han beskrev havet på denne kyst således: “a charming peaceful spot: the sea unfurls itself with an utterly British correctness.” Og på den måde er hele fire britiske kyster repræsenteret i denne koncert: Cornwall (Smyth), Wales (Williams), Sussex (Debussy) og Suffolk (Britten).
