Ralph Vaughan Williams

A Sea Symphony

With his monumental "A Sea Symphony", Ralph Vaughan Williams created one of the most poignant and powerful choral masterpieces of the 20th century. Based on the visionary poetry of Walt Whitman, this four-movement work captures the boundless expanse of the ocean and the human spirit of exploration: from the majestic opening "A Song for all Seas, all Ships" and the contemplative "On the Beach at Night alone", to the tempestuous scherzo "The Waves" and the profoundly moving finale "The Explorers".
