Foaming Sea - Robert Buckley

From Robert Buckley's grandly cinematic suite describing impressions of the seas of the moon, Foaming Sea (2nd movement) was inspired by the composer watching the ocean during a violent storm with waves exploding and crashing. The sense of excitement and exhilaration eventually leads to the calm after the storm, as turbulent darkness gives way to light. Dur: 4:40
