Program Notes:
Using the style and harmonic texture of Canadian folk songs from the East Coast and the story telling features of Newfoundland, A Fisherman's Tale is a piece about a trip out into the ocean. The piece opens with the solemn, chorale-like movement "Farewell", as the fisherman leaves his home and family to begin the excursion, and closes with "Return to Harbour", an up-tempo movement representing the worker's successful homecoming.
