Ship Wrecked

This is an effective programmatic work in three movements: The Storm, Life, and The Dance. The first movement portrays the intensity of the storm with much dissonance and rhythmic excitement. The second movement is a four-part chorale set in C major. The third movement combines elements of the two preceding movements, but is ultimately in a more jovial state.
