Absolutely brilliant! Those driving reggaeton rhythms instantly pulled me in. The hypnotic beats and staccato desert blues guitar create such a unique atmosphere. This arrangement is both adventurous and uplifting. What a fantastic way to bring this lovely poem to life!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the arrangement. I’m pleased the reggaeton rhythms and desert blues guitar stood out for you. I was interested in how those contrasting elements might reflect both the energy of the poem and the unpredictable nature of the sea. Do you find that certain rhythmic patterns or guitar styles evoke a particular mood for you when paired with poetry, or was it the combination itself that created the atmosphere? I’m always curious about how listeners interpret these musical blends, especially when working with such evocative source material as "The Stormy Petrel".

O, that this too too solid flesh would melt
I love the word-play where William says: "O, that this too too solid flesh would melt, Thaw and resolve itself into a dew!" where the play on words of "a dew" and "adieu" are so obvious but perhaps so overlooked. Maybe the audience of the day would have got the joke?
