Four Sea Interludes from "Peter Grimes," Op. 33a

As part of the score, Britten wrote six orchestral interludes to cover scene changes.

From these interludes, he published the now-famous Four Sea Interludes, which comprises the first, third, fifth, and second from the opera.

We'll listen to these interludes later this hour, here on Anytime Classical.
