The Hebrides Overture was inspired during one of Mendelssohn’s trips to the British Isles in 1829 on an excursion to the Scottish island of Staffa with its basalt sea cave known as Fingal’s Cave – by which name the work is also known. Many consider the work to be an early tone poem with with images of a sea voyage being clearly expressed in the music.
