The Sea of the Edge

The Sea of the Edge is one of the oceans of the moon. While much music depicts the moon romantically, from the safe distance of the Earth – here the cold, desolate lunar landscape is placed in the foreground.

The title also refers to ‘Music on the Edge’ who commissioned the piece for Susie Hodder-Williams. Susie gave the first performance at the Guildford International Music Festival on 21^st March 2011; she has recorded the piece on Northern Lights (FMRCD303-0311 © 2011).
