This stirring composition pays tribute to the heroic efforts of rescuers that worked to save victims of a maritime disaster. You'll hear breezy themes indicating boats upon the waves, the building of the impending storm and the bold themes that represent the efforts of those that came to their rescue. This is a particularly nice selection if you have a strong woodwind section that can effectively carry out the flourishes used in the squall section.
