This perenially popular classic hit arranged in full (including bass solo!) for string trio. Ideal for wedding receptions and function background music in general. Much better than playing a quartet version with a part missing when budget or venue constraints mean you're working as a trio.

Rhapsody – Wind of the Sea 

By Brendan Reeves

This piece, Rhapsody – Wind of the Sea, takes the listener on a melodic ride over the waves and winds of the ocean.  The piece is grounded in an E major 7th chord which, despite being a 7th chord, serves tonic function throughout the piece.

The piece begins with several arpeggios in moderato, which are meant to symbolize rolling waves.  Much like waves, they are not in perfect time.  The piece is very felt and performed with passion rather than strict attention to meter.  Dynamic is the primary focus.

The melody is presented three times in the beginning of the piece, after which the dream sequence begins.  The dream sequence is characterized by stanzas differentiated by dynamic marking. 

This crescendos into the next section symbolizing the wind on the sea, beginning on Measure 53.  The transition is from a previously stable tonic E major 7th chord.  With the naturalization of the D, it becomes an E dominant 7th chord and becomes the V7 chord of A major (Secondary Dominant).  In an instant flourishing A lydian scale, the listener is taken into a new melodic world in A lydian.

The piece then diminishes back down into the waves of the dream pattern at measure 70. 

The piece finishes off tempo with one last final, symbolic, arpeggio; a calm after the tempest.
