Seascape with High Cliffs

Ian Wilson was born in Belfast in 1964 and obtained the first D.Phil in composition to be awarded by the University of Ulster . His music has been performed and broadcast on six continents. About Seascape with high cliffs he says: “the piece was inspired by a visit I made some years ago to the Cliffs of Moher on the west coast of Ireland. The cliffs are hundreds of feet above the swelling sea, with the Aran islands in thedistance, barely visible the day I was there. Seabirds were floating in the strong breeze below me.”
