Symphony No. 1, 'A Sea Symphony' is a choral symphony by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, composed between 1903 and 1909 and first performed in 1910. The work, Vaughan Williams's first symphony, blends late-Romantic orchestral writing with expansive choral passages and seafaring imagery, employing rich orchestral colour and broad melodic structures that place it within the revival of English symphonic music in the early 20th century.
