for SSATB & piano or string orchestra The Shipping Forecast is
in 3 movements: 'Donegal', 'They that go down to the sea in ships',
and 'Naming'. The first and last movement are settings of poems by
the poet, broadcaster, and academic, Sean Street. In 'Donegal'
snatches of the shipping forecast (spoken) are woven into the
atmospheric texture of the poem. The second movement is a setting
of the Psalm 107: 23-26 | 28-29: 'They that go down to the sea in
ships'. The setting has the feel of a Celtic lullaby, moving from a
simple statement to a centre of turmoil then back to overlapping
phrases, melting into tranquillity at the end. In the final
movement, 'Naming', the text becomes 'a meditation on the fortunes
of the sea as reflected in other names, gathered from coastal maps
of Newfoundland'. Energetic, in perpetual motion and rhythmic,
'Naming' drives the whole work to an upbeat finish.
