Authored by Henry van Dyke
Composed by Adam Miller
Composed for the 2025 Celebris Ensemble competition, this excerpted setting of Henry Van Dyke's tenth ode to music is a testament to its wonder and its restorative and unifying powers. Using both dynamics and rubato, the writing mimics the movements of waves upon the shore.
The recording of its world premiere with the Stephen F. Austin A Cappella Choir under the direction of Dr. Michael Murphy is shared as the demonstration of this outstanding work.
