The Waves," and "The Explorers: Grave e molto adagio." Each movement is a journey through the vast and mysterious world of the sea, blending poetic imagery with rich orchestral textures. Vaughan Williams' innovative use of a soprano and baritone soloists, along with a full chorus in the final movement, adds a dramatic and deeply moving dimension to this symphonic work.
