The title of this piece never appears in the lyrics, but provides an overarching metaphor for the text. Themes of strength, guidance, and living by example are at the heart of this inspiring choral. Superb voice leading makes the warm harmonic twists and turns accessible for any age choir, and the ebb and flow of the piano represents a turbulent sea. Expressive and elevating!
