This piece is the last in the set Sea Pieces
The first piece is My river runs to thee Exultation is sold only in the set Sea Pieces, and is not available for sale as an individual piece.
The final piece in the set darts up and down melodically, a reflection of the headlong excitement of an 'inland soul' on first going to sea. Rising phrases in the two lower parts at first complement the rushing phrases of the upper part — until they too become swept up in the rushing exuberance of the first.
Words
Exultation is the going Of an inland soul to sea, Past the houses — past the headlands — Into deep Eternity —
Bred as we, among the mountains, Can the sailor understand The divine intoxication Of the first league out from land?
