First we notice that Delius never bent a text to his musical purposes in .so masterly a way; his decision sometimes to let the baritone solo, sometimes the chorus, advance the story, at other places to make the chorus echo the soloist or just give emotional or · atmospheric background, is made wi~~ uncanny judgment of the right t imes or places for one type of approach; none of the d evices is overworked. The pathos of hucan bereavement, s ~ lized in the seagull's bereavement, could well have been expressed by this particular composer by means of orchestra or choir, separately or together, but one cannot now think o f so poignant .a medium as the baritone vo i ce crying above , within and around the chorus and orchestra.! Philip Heseltine calls it a lyrical utterance, a dramatic work in whose nrsic "we seem to hear the very quintessence of all the sorrow and unrest that man can feel because of h:ve.

WWQR VOL. 35 NO.2 (FALL 2017) FOLLOWING YOU: SECOND PERSON IN WALT WHITMAN’S “AS I EBB’D WITH THE OCEAN OF LIFE” MARION K. MCINNES Yes my brother I know, The rest might not, but I have treasur’d every note, For more than once dimly down to the beach gliding, Silent, avoiding the moonbeams, blending myself with the shadows, Recalling now the obscure shapes, the echoes, the sounds and sights after their sorts, The white arms out in the breakers tirelessly tossing, I, with bare feet, a child, the wind wafting my hair, Listen’d long and long. Listen’d to keep, to sing, now translating the notes, Following you my brother. —Whitman, “Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking”1 1 One of the most important rhetorical strategies that Walt Whitman picks up from the Bible and from the oratory of sermons is surely the use of the second-person “you.” “Thou shalt not kill,” “Thou shalt not covet,” say the Old Testament Commandments, reaching across the page and up through the ages to instruct their readers.

In those days a blend of political revolution, sexual revolution, and mysticism was very much in the air, and to many of us who were part of that rebellious culture Blake seemed astoundingly prescient. The seeds of this piece were sown at that time. My ‘Blake piece’ was a long time coming: the opportunity to write this cantata for the MIT Concert Choir was the catalyst that finally brought it out.
