This musical portrait of a picturesque harbor town on the Irish coast seeks to communicate the feeling of serenity that would accompany sitting on the dock and staring out to sea. While musically satisfying, the piece's phrasing demands are very accessible. Subtle ocean drum and ship's bell sounds come together with a beautiful melody and creative contrapuntal writing to create a moving work for developing ensembles.

Reminiscent of the small town bands in the early 1900s playing in a music pavilion at the center of activity, Promenade presents a series of variations evoking this style, but as interpreted through the memories of 21st-century composer Ãrpád Balázs. This composition is open-air music to be played sitting down. Music intended not for marching to, but for a promenade pavilion or rather a concert hall. (Grade 3) Dur: 5:30.
