Creatures of the Deep is a set of four pieces evoking some of the sea creatures described by the 16th-century poet Edmund Spenser. The music moves from the Rosemarine (the clumsy walrus) and the Monoceros (the frisky narwhal) to the Siren (the mermaid, luring sailors to a watery grave) and finally the scary Sea-Satyre. Performance time of all four pieces together is about nine minutes.
