Vaughan Williams: Sea Symphony

1. how you come across to it:
- forgot

2. why this piece?
- A true choral symphony that the choir is used throughout the work and is an integral part of the musical texture
- the 70-minute music is simply a great soundtrack while the choir sings out what is going on in the motion picture

3. (and...)
- Ravel paid Vaughan Williams the great compliment of calling him “the only one of my students who does not write my music.” (Vaughan Williams studied with him for three weeks in Paris in 1908)
