"My dear colleague, the renowned low flute player Peter Sheridan, lost his mother, Pauline, in 2014. One of my best friends, the very talented artist Malcolm Tuffnell, lost his mother, Jacqueline, in 2010. One night, Malcolm posted some of his late mother's poetry on a social networking site. I was so moved by the ones I saw that I immediately asked to see more of them. I narrowed down my choices to eight sea-themed poems that became the basis for Seascapes. This score is dedicated to the memory of these two inspirational and much beloved mothers." -Stanley M. Hoffman
