Day At Sea

This strictly instrumental CD is well-loved by both CRMM staff and volunteers, and can often be heard playing both in our gift store by day and our homes by night! This CD is probably the one that makes our vistors most often stop and ask, "What is playing?", followed quickly by, "Do you have it for sale?"

Some of the adjectives used to describe John Mock's music are: soothing, lush, delightful, soul-stirring, stunning, mesmerizing, and symphonic.

Essentially tone-poems of wind-blown seascapes, towering Irish cliffs, and lonely steadfast lighthouses, John has an ability to compose pieces that manage to "feature the orchestra while fusing classical, folk and popular styles into powerful new works."

About the artist-
John Mock is an artist, and the sea and its coasts are his muse. From New England to Chincoteague to Ireland, the Atlantic’s beautiful coastline and quaint villages, its wooden boats and whitewashed lighthouses, continue to inspire and inform John’s art. He captures in music and in photographs the heritage of the sea.

A native of Connecticut’s eastern shore, John’s work has taken him around the world. Widely sought after as a composer, arranger and multi-instrumentalist, he has worked with such notable artists as the Dixie Chicks, James Taylor, Nanci Griffith, Maura O’Connell, Sylvia, Kathy Mattea and Mark O’Connor. His orchestral arrangements have been performed by orchestras throughout America and abroad, including the London Symphony, the National Symphony and the symphonies of Atlanta and Nashville.
