"Seashore" is the seventh song of the Vashon Suite: No Bridges.
Commissioned to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Vashon Island Chorale (Vashon Island, Washington state), "Vashon Suite: No Bridges" features eleven songs for SATB choir about the history, geography and romance of Vashon Island.
The seventh song in the suite, Seashore describes the forty-five miles of shore around the island -- the seashore teems with abundant life from the many species of sea-birds to surfacing whales and blubbery seals. The piece features a flute obligato, and an optional conga drum, as well as a piano accompaniment. Seashore has the flavor of summer. Other pieces in the suite include Strawberry Kisses, (a tandem bicycle and picnic song of summer) and Leonosa, a rollicking sea-shanty depicting a brig carrying lumber from Vashon Island to San Francisco during the Gold Rush.
