This piece is part of the set Sea Pieces
The next piece is Exultation As if the sea should part is sold only in the set Sea Pieces, and is not available for sale as an individual piece.
The second piece in the set is much stiller. An opening homophonic section with slowly shifting harmonies is followed by a separation between the Soprano 2 part and the two others — representing the imagined parting of the seas in the poem. The harmonies shift again, but then drift back to the F major tonality of the opening.
Words
As if the Sea should part And show a further Sea — And that — a further — and the Three But a presumption be —
Of Periods of Seas — Unvisited of Shores — Themselves the Verge of Seas to be — Eternity — is Those —
