Thanks for the information, Dave, and welcome to UC. Just a quick reminder, though: Tuukanen's music is right on the outer limits of UC's remit - which you can familiarise yourself with here:

There's always Nicodé's Das Meer... :)

I understand Mr. Howe. Thank you.

I should have specified MacDowell's Sea Pieces in the thread title. My bad.

That's very good of you, thanks.

Atterberg's Third, subtiled West Coast Pictures, is one of my all-time favorite pieces of music-a marvelously evocative, life-affirming work.

Feeling perverse - has anyone orchestrated and had performed Alkan's "Chanson de la Folle Au Bord de la Mer"?

Hi there!
In the liner notes of my Marco Polo CD of Sylvio Lazzari's "Symphony" and "Tableaux Maritimes" I quote a few other symphonic works by "French" composers which were inspired by the sea. Lazzari's Tableaux are magnificent, but very difficult to play.
Incidentally, it seems that Debussy's "La Mer" was inspired by the piece of the same name by Belgiam composer Pual Gilson (which is available on CD).

Nice to meet you, Adriano! I have greatly admired the work you have done on the behalf of undeservedly neglected composers. I very much like the Tableaux Marines-a wonderfully atmospheric score. I rather prefer it to the Symphony in E-flat on the same disc, which, although dramatic and well-wrought, is a bit overlong IMO.

Allow me to put in another plug for the Gilson piece-a great wallow with some Wagner-meets-Debussy-type orchestration.
