Melville and the Great White Whale

Melville and the Great White Whale

Aurea sets its gaze on the life and times of Herman Melville and his seminal work, Moby-Dick.  Fusing passages from the novel; Melville’s letters to Nathaniel Hawthorne, the novel’s dedicatee; string quartets of Beethoven and Webern, sea shanties and evocative harmonica improvisations of Chris Turner, Aurea highlights the philosophical themes inherent in this great American novel.
