Seaside Postcards by Jonathan Dove

Two Seaside Postcards have been published by Faber Music, Wish You Were Here and Having a Lovely Time. They are lively seascapes (15 minutes) based on traditional songs of the sea, for performance by orchestra and children.

They were commissioned by the CBSO Society Limited and first performed with them and
the City of Birmingham Symphony Youth Chorus and children from Birmingham primary schools conducted by Simon Halsey on 19 July 1995.

Classical Road Show has commissioned a third, contemplative seaside postcard to be performed in between the existing ones. The premiere performance was in  March 2004.
