At Sea is a composition supposed to transport the listener away on a ship, as if they were at sea. The piece begins with the waves crashing against a dock, and, as a ship sets sail, the waves become more agitated and the ship takes off. As the wind dies down, and the sun sets, a solo bassoon is heard singing its song to the moon. Other voices join in and they sing until the sunrise, when the ship sets full mast once more and journeys on. 

The painting on the cover photo is "Ships at Sea" by Michael Zeno Diemer.
