Music in a Bottle, by Uruguayan-American composer Miguel del Águila portrays the symbolic journey of a bottle carrying a message across the ocean and finally sinking without its message ever having been delivered. The bottle and its journey represent to the composer our own selves and our own lives' journey and how when we die we take with us most of the memories within us, many of which were undisclosed to anyone else. The work is divided in 3 sections: I The Journey, II The Message, III The bottle sinks.
The piece has a post-minimalist feel, while the middle (Message) section reminds us of Piazzolla.
