In A Sea Symphony, Vaughan Williams pairs music of immense grandeur with Walt Whitman’s visionary poetry—written at a time when ideas of empire dominated global thinking. Whitman’s words instead celebrate inclusion, exploration, and shared humanity, creating a powerful and inspiring contrast that makes this work feel both monumental and deeply forward-looking.
