This is David Maslanka's fantastic Double Horn Concerto "Sea Dreams". As the title suggests, this is about Maslanka's love for the ocean/sea, in this case specifically his takeaway of the sea from Herman Melville’s famous novel "Moby Dick".
Maslanka writes in the program notes:
"I was born and raised in New Bedford, Massachusetts, the whaling port of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. The sea has been, and will be a part of me forever. I was riveted by the mundane aspects of the book – the pictures of the varying ocean moods, the minute descriptions of the ship and whaling gear – sprang to life for me as powerfully as the titanic struggles with the white whale. Since my youth, other stories of Melville, the paintings of Winslow Homer, and the sea imagery in the poetry of Pablo Neruda have opened me in the same way."
