    Commissioned by and dedicated to Mujeres en la música (Madrid and New York), The Ocean We Want is a dynamic and passionate tribute to the sustainability efforts taking place by environmental groups as our vital oceans suffer from climate change and pollution.

    For many years I’ve been entranced and spiritually nourished watching and listening to the ocean. Approaching bliss, I become mesmerized while embracing the rhythmic sounds, wave textures and the scent of the ocean air. Mesmerized as well by the various blue and green ocean hues on a clear or stormy day, I wish for the ocean's health to stay strong.

    The opening of The Ocean We Want portrays the peaceful, powerful magnitude, depth, fascinating marine and plant life living within the ocean.

    As the music continues, it moves through turbulent segments alternating with calmer sections meant to reflect the majestic power, beauty and dignity of our oceans; serene, gentle or volatile yet always mystical. Classical-styled themes featured here aim to bring us back in time hundreds of years ago to imagine what a truly clean ocean atmosphere must have been like at that time! The final section depicts what I hear as the dappling rays of a sunset disappear gently at the ocean's end.
