This three-movement work explores the fascinating world of the ocean and all the creatures that inhabit it. In the first movement, “Luminescent Creatures,” the composer describes the environment of the sea at a depth of more than 1000 meters where there is no light, where the ocean looks like an ink stain. The sperm whale and the giant octopus are the subject of the second movement. The title of the third movement, “The Blue Whale,” refers to the biggest living being on earth, the beautiful blue whale. A play on words concerning the term “blue” relates to the danger that oceans and their inhabitants constantly have to face because of biological and industrial waste that is thrown into the ocean, whcih has left many creatures on the verge of extinction. In this movement, the music is accompanied by real whale songs, recorded on CD, which is included with the band set.
