Work Overview

Ship Song is a lilting, wistful song that tells the story of a young woman who is farewelling the sailor that she loves, before he sets off in his ship for the high and turbulent seas. She begins by reflecting on the sorrow of their parting, the danger of the stormy seas, and later is overjoyed at his eventual return.
The piece originally started out life as a song for solo soprano and lute. It is one of the first pieces I ever composed, and dates back to the time that I began to develop an interest composing and songwriting in my early senior high school years. I was delighted to premiere this with my Cantus girls choir at Mansfield State High School, who enjoyed the process of putting this piece together.
