Seashore Girls

"Seashore Girls," is a playful, rambunctious musical description of a carefree, gleeful, sunny day at the beach. Its rapidly changing meters (6/8, 5/8, 7/8, 4/8, 4/4, 3/4, 2/4) result in tricky rhythms, and those rhythms and the inclusion of some syncopation contribute to the effervescent mood of the piece. It is the second song of Hundley's song cycle Octaves and Sweet Sounds.

--Esther Jane Hardenbergh

The audio recording features Esther Jane Hardenbergh, soprano, and Mutsumi Moteki, piano, and the performance took place in Salzburg, Austria on a recital for the Salzburg Chamber Concerts series.
