'Water's Edge' is a contemporary classical composition by Welsh-American composer Hilary Tann. The piece was composed in 2011 and premiered on March 3, 2012, by the Williams College Department of Music in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The composition consists of three movements, each of which is inspired by the natural beauty of water and its surroundings. The first movement, titled "Riverside," is a slow and contemplative piece that evokes the peaceful flow of a river. The second movement, "Waterfall," is more energetic and dynamic, capturing the power and force of a waterfall. The final movement, "Seashore," is a serene and reflective piece that conjures up images of the ocean and its vast expanse. One of the most striking characteristics of 'Water's Edge' is its use of unconventional instruments, such as the marimba and vibraphone, which add a unique texture and timbre to the music. The composition also features intricate rhythms and harmonies, which create a sense of movement and fluidity that is reminiscent of the ebb and flow of water. Overall, 'Water's Edge' is a beautiful and evocative composition that showcases Hilary Tann's skill as a composer and her ability to capture the essence of nature through music.
