Short Themes from a Ship Overseas is a series of short pieces for string orchestra (originally written for guitar quartet) that explores a sense of wonder that is invoked by a dream of sailing over the vast open seas and oceans of the world. At some point in one's life, the idea of sailors, pirates, and treasure is an inspiration that fuels imagination filled with adventure. These pieces explore that concept in a musical form and transfer these ideas using themes, textures, and ideas that are inspired by the open seas. The entire series is adventurous and great fun for all ages as parameters are shaped to fit the theme and also innovate.

Written in 4/4 time but felt in a lazy 2, every section gets a chance to play the catchy two-bar rhythmic motif that holds the whole piece together.

And to add to the fun, a couple of nice melodies are presented over the top of the motif from time to time. 11624084 String Orchestra . . . . . 50.00 11624125 Additional Score . . . . . . 6.00 Morning Star—Katie O'Hara LaBrie.

The camp is currently held every summer at nearly 10,000 feet elevation at the Golden Bell Camp above the town of Divide, Colorado. The work is programmatic, bringing to life a poem about the quest of a young camper who must decide between the security of the familiar and the uncertainty of the unknown. The poem is an allegory for the choices we make in life.
