Sounds of the Sea

Harpenden and Stevenage Choral Societies join forces on Saturday 25 March 2017 at 7:30 pm in the Coptic Orthodox Church Centre, Stevenage to perform two of the best known musical evocations of the sea - Vaughan Williams’s exhilarating setting of Walt Whitman’s poetry, A Sea Symphony, and Benjamin Britten’s orchestral suite, Sea Interludes, from his opera Peter Grimes. As Vaughan Williams's first symphony, A Sea Symphony is an ambitiously large work, and remains the best known of the many sea-related compositions written at the turn of the 20th century, standing firmly in the canon of great choral orchestral masterpieces.
