The Spaniardis an atmospheric work first commissioned by Brisbanes Western Suburbs String Orchestra (WSSO) and premiered to enthusiastic audience acclaim by their 45 piece Chamber Strings in September, 2018. The piece is somewhat programmatic, celebrating the adventurous naval exploits of an heroic captain in the name of his Queen and country. Luck is with the Spaniard when he survives the shipwreck of his vessel off the coast of Ireland and is rescued by a beautiful yet resourceful Irish maiden whom he later marries. The call of the sea draws the Spaniard back to his homeland to renew his seafaring life. This memorable piece, brimming with lyrical melodies within a ternary construction, will appeal to audience and students from middle to high school.
