A Sea Symphony

Album by Ralph Vaughan Williams & Choral Guild of Atlanta & L’Orchestre Symphonique des Jeunes de Liège & Helen Bickers & Randi Blooding & William Noll

A Sea Symphony is a choral symphony by English composer Ralph Vaughan Williams, first performed in 1910. It is scored for a large orchestra with chorus and soloists, combines late-Romantic orchestration with modal harmony and folk-influenced melodies, and is Vaughan Williams's first symphony, which sits within the early 20th-century effort to develop a distinct English symphonic tradition.
