That was superb. I really love that run around 0:33 with the quintuplet. It really captures a vast openness. When I hear it, I can picture the wrecked ship beneath the cold waves, the calm, clear depths of the ocean undisturbed. Perhaps with a few rays of light trickling down around the ships resting place.
Thanks for posting this. I was great to follow the score. Sadly, not living in the UK I could not see the BBC film but years ago I remember a Radio 4 play, 'Goodnight to Flamboro'. Does anybody else? I was so moved by it that Baines returns to 'haunt' me regularly, and I would not have it any other way.
@clotter234567 You can find a CD on amazon.com or itunes. It is titled "Piano Music of William Baines" and includes his Twilight Pieces, Silverpoints, Colored Leaves, Tides (which is this and another piece), and his Seven Preludes. It is quite a wonderful CD and highly recommended.
The piece immediately makes me think of surging waves and the prospect of being completely alone in a vast and unknown body of water. A particularly frightening notion for me considering my fear of drowning.

Huh, I was relistening to Alkan's Esquisses the other day and I just realized how similar this piece and Les soupirs (Esquisses, op. 63 No 11) are.

This fascinating piece is a terrific masterwork. Much more interesting than Chopin!

Beautiful melody and sonorities.
I find the bass to be perhaps a bit too stationary, but overall a very touching work.
Baines is not even on Wikipedia, he must be very little known.
