    “Behold, the sea itself...” begins the powerful first words of Vaughan Williams’ choral symphony. The pairing of Walt Whitman’s poetry from Leaves of Grass with Vaughan Williams’ visionary composition takes us on a mystical voyage where nature offers passage to the soul’s discovery.

Robert Honeysucker, baritone and Dana Schnitzer, soprano
