World Ocean Day falls on the 8th of June, and this week we celebrate the wonder and magnificence that has inspired so many musicians and composers over the centuries. From the vast, lush orchestral colour of Debussy’s La Mer, to the quiet introspection of Johann Johanssen, to the yarnspinning of Planxty and the evocative sea sounds of Karen Power’s Antarctic recordings. A reminder to celebrate and protect our beautiful, bounteous and life-giving oceans.
